Tony Hillary, founder of Hillarys Blinds said: “It will be an absolute delight to share the Hillarys Blinds story at the BBSA Show.
“It was an incredible 30-year journey from £47 of sales in our first week in May 1971, to £60,000,000 turnover in 2001.
“It’s a great story and I have so many lessons to share.”
Joe Chalk, event manager for the British Blind and Shutter Show, added: “Energy efficiency, sustainability and automation continue to be the big drivers of innovation in the blind, shutter and awnings industry.
“We are expecting significant growth in the amount of innovative automated products on show from exhibitors, for example blinds which are Alexa, Google or Siri enabled and can be operated remotely.
“Innovations in the sector are helping people to save money on their energy bills and make life easier by utilising new automated technologies.
“This is the biggest show we have had to date and we are looking forward to welcoming some of the world’s biggest manufacturers to Coventry Building Society Arena this year.”
