At Lakeside Blinds, we’ve always believed that small local businesses are the heartbeat of our communities. Being a family-run company ourselves, we know first-hand how much passion, effort, and dedication goes into growing something from the ground up. That’s why we love working with other independent businesses across Gloucestershire, helping them add those finishing touches that not only look great but also make a difference to their day-to-day.

One of our recent projects took us to The Village Cakery in Churchdown, a brilliant local success story. Started by Noushien just five years ago, the cakery has gone from strength to strength, becoming a favourite spot for anyone with a sweet tooth. Whether it’s beautifully decorated cupcakes, birthday creations, or the kind of cakes that make you stop and stare, The Village Cakery has built its reputation on quality and creativity.

To give her shop front that extra bit of personality (and shade from the sun), Noushien asked us to create a bespoke roller blind with her company logo. The result? A smart, practical blind that ties in perfectly with the brand she’s worked so hard to build. Not only does it look the part, but it also provides privacy and sun protection inside the shop – keeping both the cakes and customers comfortable.

We have to say, standing outside after the installation, the blind looked fantastic. Nearly as good as the cakes inside… and if you’ve ever tried them, you’ll know that’s saying something! 🍰

Why choose branded blinds for your business?

For local businesses like The Village Cakery, a roller blind with a logo isn’t just about shading – it’s a way of making your shop front stand out. It’s practical advertising, day in and day out, without taking up extra space or feeling pushy. For cafés, salons, shops, and offices across Gloucestershire, we can design and fit blinds that carry your colours, branding, and identity.

Supporting each other locally

Working with people like Noushien is what keeps us motivated. Every blind we fit tells a story, and in this case, it’s one of hard work, local pride, and a love of baking. If you’re ever in Churchdown, we can’t recommend popping into The Village Cakery enough – it’s well worth a visit.

And if you’re another local business looking for a way to smarten up your windows, showcase your brand, and enjoy the practical benefits of a high-quality blind, we’d love to help.
