Harlequin Blinds and Security was first established in the early 1990s. It started by manufacturing vertical drapes and security doors in the local Sunshine Coast area. Since then it has grown to become one of the Sunshine Coasts best known manufacturers of Internal and external Home Improvement Products. This was achieved by their aim of always putting the customer first.
Harlequin Blinds and Security is a proud Fashionline Group member. They feel that membership gives Harlequin Blinds and Security’s customers access to the quality, range and prices of a national company with the service, care and reliability of a local company – which we all know is true!
Harlequin manufacture and supply the most comprehensive range of home improvement products. With Blinds, Awnings, and Security Door products, their customers have access to a One Stop home improvement shop, and they have products to suit all budgets.
Owner, Marilyn Black is also an ambassador for Sunny Kids and an avid supporter of Boystown. With three children of her own these charities are close to her heart.
We spoke to Marilyn about market trends and her plans this year…
What did you find was your biggest mover over the summer season?
The Ziptrak Awning! It’s a great Awning System that customers LOVE, it is easy to use and has many advantages to a person’s outdoor living space!
What’s your best tip for our harsh Australian environment? (window furnishing wise)
Know what products are needed for our temperature and climate. Where and when you need shade, air and light and how maximise your area to do that.
Tell us a little bit about your team?
We have a small but dedicated team. There are five who have been here from 4 to 17 years, and one has been in the industry for nearly 25 years, with a wealth of knowledge and experience.
What’s the best thing about your service? Is there anything that really sets you apart?
We are local, and we manufacture a majority of our products on site. We are readily available and have good knowledge of our products and how we can help a customer to ‘Complete the Vision’ to their home and office!
Any exciting plans for the rest of the year?
We are looking at expanding our premises and continuing our staff training and advancement.
Thanks Marilyn, we’ve enjoyed the chat!
