Our Story

Nigel Wickens’ experience in the shutter and blinds industry spans 25 years, beginning in 1991 with his local Northern Beaches company, Gotcha Covered Shutters and Blinds. Gotcha quickly grew from its humble beginnings in Nigel’s Cromer granny flat, to a thriving small business servicing some of the most iconic homes on Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

To meet growing demand, Nigel hired local tradesman and world paddleboard champion Brad Gaul, alongside local cabinetmaker Warren Bennett. The boys’ customer service, honesty and talent quickly saw Gotcha develop into one of Sydney’s leading window furnishing retailers, synonymous with quality and talented workmanship. Under Nigel’s mentorship, both Brad and Warren created their own local prestige shutter businesses, Signature Shutters and Blinds and Sublime Shutters and Blinds. The skills and commercial acumen the boys acquired at Gotcha saw both businesses achieve tremendous success, and the three businesses enjoyed friendly competition – so friendly they continued to share their annual staff Christmas parties.

By 2014, Nigel and Brad could no longer ignore the obvious synergies of a combined business, and they reunited as Signature Shutters and Blinds. There was just one piece missing, and in 2016, impressed with the merger between his old workmates, Warren too joined forces with Signature Shutters and Blinds.

Now based in Cromer with the support of their team of dedicated office staff and fitters, Nigel, Brad and Warren are pursuing their vision to become Sydney’s premier window furnishing and external shade solutions provider – a partnership of quality, integrity and premium service.

Our Team

At Signature Shutters and Blinds we pride ourselves in offering quality products and exceptional service, at an affordable price. We only supply products of the highest quality, so you can have the peace of mind that you will be enjoying your shutters or blinds for many years to come.

Light enters our homes in a variety of ways and knowing the right product to address this is vital part of a good interior design. Colours can define internal rooms and  make powerful statements to the exterior of you home. Different fabrics react differently with light. Well designed and thoughtful solutions can add value and aesthetic appeal, however poorly planed executions can result in the opposite. Our team of experienced Shade Consultants will guide you through the design process to ensure you get the best possible solution for your home.

    We absolutely LOVE our shutters. We got them first in the baby's room and they looked so amazing we decided to do the rest of the house. They have added massive value to our property and provide the right balance of privacy and style. 10 out of 10 guys!
