Robertshaws is a manufacturer of awnings.. I go there as an engineer. I'm not sure if they have a public trade desk, but I don't think so.

Report
We needed a blind to use whilst ladder training at the back of our offices and contacted James Robertshaw. The service we received from our initial enquiry to the fitting and aftercare has been first class and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the company to anyone. If you need a blind you need James Robertshaw
