About Us

Our story

A family business since 1987. We measure, supply, and fit every shutter and blind ourselves, because we believe the people who care most should be the ones doing the work.

Since 1987

A family business, built on trust

The Scottish Shutter Company was established in 1987 with a simple idea: give people honest advice about their windows, do beautiful work, and stand behind it. That idea has guided everything we have done for 39 years.

David Browne started the business and still leads it today as Project Director, overseeing design, marketing, and the technology that keeps our customers informed at every stage. David D'Ambrosio, our Technical Director, brings deep industry expertise as the Immediate Past President of the British Blind and Shutter Association (BBSA). Between them, they set the standard for every installation we deliver.

Judith D'Ambrosio runs our customer service operation with a personal touch that larger companies simply cannot match. When you call us, you speak to someone who knows your project, your preferences, and your timeline. That continuity matters.

We are a family run business with 11 people. Every surveyor, every fitter, and every member of our office team is employed by us directly. No subcontractors. No agency staff. The people who measure your windows are the same people who fit your shutters and blinds. That accountability is the foundation of our five year guarantee.

Our Philosophy

We educate, not sell

We have no salespeople. Never have, never will. Instead, we have specialists who take the time to understand what you want and explain what is possible.

There is no commission. No targets. No pressure to buy today or lose a discount. Our team is measured by the quality of their work, not the size of their sales.

We believe that when people have the right information, they make great decisions. So we answer every question honestly, show you all the options, and give you the space to decide in your own time. If shutters are not the right solution for your windows, we will tell you.

Honest Advice

We explain the options clearly and let you decide. No jargon, no pressure, no hard sell.

No Commission

Our team has no sales targets. Their focus is getting it right for you, not closing a deal.

No Pressure

Take your time. There is never any pressure to rush a decision. We are here when you are ready.

Transparent Pricing

The price we quote is the price you pay. Detailed quotations with no hidden costs.
