Being of service to the discerning Northamptonshire public during the first year of trading has been just a pleasure. The preparation of the showroom for your visits during the first half of the year ended with the official opening in February when Bernie Keith from BBC Radio Northampton was guest of honour. He was brilliant and a tremendous hit with those of you who were there on the day.

You helped to make the next few months really fantastic as you helped to make the Northampton franchise Business of the Week two weeks running and you have helped us into the top ten on several occasions during the rest of the year. Most of all, you have made the first year feel amazing as we have met so many really nice people.

So to all of you, where ever you live, whether it is Kingsthorpe, Northampton, Corby, Kettering, Wellingborough, Earls Barton, Yardley Hastings, Roade, Towcester, Pattishall, Weedon, Daventry, Braunston, Brixworth, Crick, Yelvertoft or of course Long Buckby where it all began, THANK YOU for inviting us into your homes to help you by giving you advice and help you to put the finishing touches to your decorating projects.

And so if you need a blind and want peace of mind. Call 01604 21 20 21 to choose an Apollo Blind.

Thank you too, to the many members of the local business community. So many of you helped us when we prepared the showroom and we hope you will agree that we now know each other well enough to recommend each others’ services. So whether you need the services of a plumber, electrician, painter and decorator, plasterer, printer, solicitor, travel counsellor, or many, many other business services then give 01604 212021 a call and ask for the name of a business or service that we are confident will not let you down.
