The Small Print. The idea for “louvreties”, started 15 years ago when the Grandmother of Inventor David Howarth had a new set of vertical blinds fitted in her conservatory. After asking the fitter if there was anything to tie them back to stop them blowing around when the door was open, a hook and string tie was suggested. Something was clearly needed that would look neat and not harm the fabric. That eureka moment came, “A Blind Tieback”. From the first pair of metal tiebacks made in the garage, a small batch was then manufactured as an engineering project at college. It became clear that a more suitable material was required and that led to the design of the products available today. “ It is a continually rewarding learning curve.
