Talbot & Son quickly outgrow their premises and started work renovating and building their new premises at James Place, Victoria Road, Douglas. The decision was made to start manufacturing Vertical blinds which were the latest trend (only roller and venetian blinds available previously).
The new premises and workload necessitated a new member of staff to man the showroom and tend to the office work – Hilary Talbot, Andy’s wife joined the Talbot team.
Within a short space of time it was decided to extend the workshop to enable the manufacture of roller blinds.
