A COMPANY supplying blinds and curtains is putting its competitors in the shade following a link-up with Huddersfield’s Galpharm Stadium.

Lockwood-based Swift Blinds and Curtains has signed a 10-year deal with Kirklees Stadium Development Ltd to cement their already strong relationship.

As part of the deal, new blinds supplied by Swift now adorn the Fantastic Media Suite – depicting the club badges of Huddersfield Town and Huddersfield Giants as well as Town and Giants legends Andy Booth and Eorl Crabtree.

The hope is that companies and individuals will be impressed with the images and will want to see their own designs feature on the blinds in their corporate areas.

Stadium managing director Ralph Rimmer said: ‘We are always looking to improve the facility and I am really pleased with what this company has produced for one of our most prestigious lounges.

“The graphics are high quality and not only will our box holders have the opportunity to install their bespoke designs in their suites, but Swift can do the same for any company headquarters or even domestically.”

David Roebuck, sales director at Swift Blinds and Curtains, said ‘ We installed blinds when the lounge first opened and every time I have seen the large blank white expanse behind the goals I have kicked myself for the missed opportunity.

“That has now been rectified and as a local company we are very pleased to be associated with the stadium and the sports clubs.”
