What Blind Solutions | Scotland does

Blind Solutions is a specialist commercial blinds and solar shading sub-contractor operating throughout Scotland as a division of Space Solutions (Scotland) Limited. Established in 2012 in North East Scotland and headquartered in Aberdeen, the company supplies and installs six core product lines — rooflight, timber venetian (Timbercraft), vertical, aluminium venetian, pleated, and roller blinds — sourced through strategic partnerships with five leading blind manufacturers: Silent Gliss, Yewdale, Excel, Decora, and Arena. It also offers an office blind repair service. Customers span architects, interior designers, facilities management specialists, contractors, commercial businesses, and public sector organisations, with named engagements including Morrison Construction (Countesswells Primary School for Aberdeen City Council), Royal Bank of Scotland, Schroders, CBRE, East Renfrewshire Council, University of Stirling, and Analog Devices.

The company operates a specialist sub-contractor go-to-market model, engaging at the early specification stages of projects with architects and designers and delivering on both CAT A building handovers and CAT B fit-outs. Pricing is quote-based with free site surveys and tender-stage budget support; revenue streams are project-based supply-and-installation plus repair services. Differentiators include award-winning project work (Silent Gliss Best Project Award, RoSPA Silver), a broad accredited supplier portfolio, ISO 9001/14001 and Constructionline Gold certifications, and a trained, certified installation team. The division has two offices (Aberdeen and Livingston) and was expanded into Scotland's central belt in 2023.

The parent Space Solutions (Scotland) Limited recorded £43m group turnover for the year ending June 2022, up 42% year-on-year, with £1.65m profit. In October 2025 the parent transitioned to 100% employee ownership via an Employee Ownership Trust, with Steve Judge continuing as Founder and Managing Director alongside Directors Kenny Cope, Mark Wilson, Drew Carmichael, Victoria Walker, and Teresa Thomson. Blind Solutions itself is reported as having 5 employees, operating within a broader group of approximately 198 staff across Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Livingston, and London.
