We understand, we’ve been there.
Our earliest origins were in retail, so we understand all the moving parts of your business better than anyone. This gives us a unique perspective on our sector that allows Trade to operate in a way that best serves you, our customers.
In 2015 we saw an opportunity to allow smaller retailers access to our owned production lines, allowing them the same shutter quality, production stability and unrivalled freight lead times, with no minimum order per month.
Supplying ten companies turned into fifty, which turned into hundreds of independent shutter suppliers up and down the country, all from word of mouth and being easy to deal with.
A huge part of what we got right, in the beginning, was owning our logistics. We don’t sub our deliveries to large firms. Our own drivers, and our own fleet of vans will deliver your order. This ensures the shutters are handled with the due care and attention a bespoke product needs.
All of the little things that made us big remain important to us and we uphold to this day.
Wrap yourself around us.
We know good product is the backbone of your business. That’s why we’re trusted by many hundreds of independent shutter supply companies up and down the UK.
Our shutters (and their packaging) are entirely unbranded, allowing you to wrap your own branding and service levels around our white-label product.
Our shutters have been seen in many big-brand UK Retailers over the years due to our consistency in production and overall end-customer satisfaction. You can rest easy that the product you rely on has also been picked and heavily quality assessed by some of the largest home retailers in the country.
We are here for any questions or concerns.
We are a small but mighty team here to help oil the cogs of your business.
We’re here to support you, however you need us too. Prefer WhatsApp over calls? No problem, we’ll do that. Wish to schedule what we affectionately call a ‘Van Chat’ with us during your downtime between jobs to discuss anything you want might to chat about or any market concerns? Of course. We’ve helped many businesses navigate what has been a tricky period for retail worldwide.
Your dedicated Account Manger will get to know you and pop up when appropriate to let you know of anything we think may benefit you or your bottom line. But equally, we know what to fade into the background and let you run your business. Sometimes it’s just nice to know there’s someone about should you need them.
Don’t know your Z-Frame from your L-Frame? No problem.
We have a fully comprehensive training program available if you’re a bit rusty or new to shutters entirely.
We have trained hundreds of fitters over the years with our practical, hands-on workshop led by our in-house tea. We can even do this remotely should you prefer to watch and take notes from afar.
If you want to have shutters as an addition to an existing business, we also have a full fitting service available, where we will come out to your job, survey, order and fit the shutters for you. Allowing you a complete turn-key solution for your business.
Overseas production and UK production available.
What feels like many moons ago now, after not finding the quality we were looking for, we embarked on setting up our own production line. It was no mean feat. Still, it meant we could control the excellent matte-finish paint that we’re known for, use mortise and tenon joinery on our certified hardwood and reinforce our PVC shutters with aluminium, so they never warp or bend.
We’re also masters at getting out product from overseas to the UK in record time, during COVID, while other shutter wholesalers spiralled to a 22 week delivery time, we were significantly inside of that. No one likes not knowing where their delivery is, so we always tell you when you can expect to receive your shipments and continually reach out with updates as we hear them.
One, fair market price with plenty of warning of any changes.
Rather than get involved with hard-to-understand and ever-changing deals, we prefer to keep one price for everyone. You can then suitably plan your business costs once, rather than every few weeks with fleeting ‘deals’.
We carefully track the cost of raw materials, manufacturing and freight to bring you the best market price, and we keep this price stable for as long as we can.
When prices move, either up or down, we give you fair warning and time to make the adjustments on your side.
The team here is well versed in negotiating the best prices for all our components that make up your order, and since it is out factory and our substantial collective buying power, you can be sure we’re bringing a fair wholesale price to you, our customer.
It’s made by our team in Essex, and it’s a great shutter – even if we do say so ourselves.
Our UK production runs almost 24 hours a day with a team of skilled shutter manufactures who have a keen eye for detail and are commited to bring you the fastest lead time without compromising on quality.
Our UK shutter is made of uPVC with a aluminim core to prevent warping or bending. Thisis not your average shutter and is indistinguishable from our wooden product. It is painted in the same matte-finish white paint – which customers love. It’s entirely moisture-resistant too – making it an excellent match for a lot of UK houses.

We’re a little off the beaten track so for a nudge in the right direction continue as follows: exit via Hoe Lane and use the first entrance just past the small arched bridge. Though the area is picturesque for safety reasons in cold weather please use the second entrance that can be found if you continue along Hoe Lane.
