A New Chapter for Blinds Training at Ellard: Celebrating the launch of our hands-on learning space

This May, we officially launched our brand-new Blinds Training Room, and we couldn’t be happier with how our open days turned out. From hands-on product demonstrations to in-depth discussions with industry professionals, the sessions offered a valuable opportunity for customers to discover how Ellard can support them in delivering even more for their own clients. 

Thank you to everyone who attended and made these events a success! 

A First Look at Our Blinds Training Room:

Interactive displays, real-world demos, and the full Ellard range under one roof

Our new training space has been carefully designed to showcase the full range of Ellard blind motors, controls, and smart solutions in a practical, real-world setting. The setup allows attendees to get hands-on experience in a space that mirrors the challenges and opportunities they encounter on-site. 

Interactive displays and live demos helped bring our technology to life, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and explore how the solutions fit specific customer needs. 

Smart Ideas, Shared Knowledge: 

The powerful takeaways from a hands-on day with Ellard 

The feedback was clear: training builds confidence and speeds up project success. Many of our attendees told us they were able to identify smarter solutions they hadn’t previously considered, especially when it came to motor selection, pairing options, and integrating smart home controls. 

Our Blinds Specialist, Julie Hawkins, also shared her thoughts on why the sessions were so impactful: 

“Being able to demonstrate the products in a live setting really helped customers connect the dots. You show them how a product works in real time, and suddenly they get it, not just how it works, but how it fits into what they do every day. That’s the power of hands-on training.” 

Julie Hawkins, Account Manager (Blinds) 

The sessions also gave our team the chance to hear directly from customers about what they need most from a supplier: knowledge, reliability, and aftercare. These insights are shaping how we’ll continue to evolve our training and support services moving forward.

What You Said – Feedback From the Floor:

Real quotes from real attendees on their training experience 

Here’s what one of our attendees had to say: 

“As for the training day, I'd just like to comment, it was extremely well presented and one of the best ones I've been on. I wouldn't change a thing on it personally. I may even be returning in the near future with my colleague so he can get some training on it too.”  

Chris Coe, Visionary Blinds 

"A big thanks for the training day — it was really worthwhile, and great to meet you and the team."
