Local Spotlight: Meet Narelle, the Driving Force Behind 1300 Blinds Bendigo

Bendigo, we have a fresh new face in town for your window styling needs. 1300 Blinds Bendigo is officially open for business!

We sat down with the local owner-operator, Narelle, to chat about her background, her jump into business ownership, and what locals can expect when they book a consultation with her.

Q: Narelle, you have a strong background in business management. What made you decide to step out and run your own 1300 Blinds mobile showroom?

Narelle: “For a long time, I’ve been the person behind the scenes making sure other people’s businesses ran smoothly, efficiently, and successfully. I loved the challenge, but I reached a point where I realized I wanted to channel all that energy, organization, and passion into something of my own.

When the opportunity came up to launch 1300 Blinds here in Bendigo, everything clicked. It allows me to combine my love for dealing with people with my obsession for high standards. Doing it for myself means I answer directly to my clients, and I love that accountability.”

Q: What is your philosophy when it comes to customer service?

Narelle: “It’s simple: reliability, trust, and a meticulous eye for detail. When someone invites you into their home, they are trusting you with their biggest asset. I don’t believe in cutting corners, and I don’t believe in pushy sales tactics. My goal is to make the process completely stress-free, from the first measurement to the day the window coverings are installed. If a job isn’t perfect, it isn’t done.”

Q: What does partnering with a national network like 1300 Blinds bring to your local customers?

Narelle: “It gives my clients the absolute best of both worlds. They get to support a local business owner who genuinely cares about their project, but they don’t have to sacrifice on quality or price. Because I’m backed by a massive national brand, I can offer premium Australian-made products, incredible buying power, and rock-solid warranties that smaller independent operators just can’t match.”

Q: Bendigo has a really distinct climate and a mix of historic and modern homes. How does your product range cater to that?

Narelle: “Our weather throws everything at us—freezing winters and scorching summers! Because of that, I really focus on products that offer great thermal efficiency.

Whether we are fitting out a beautiful heritage home with insulating timber plantation shutters, adding elegant blockout curtains to trap winter warmth, or installing sleek roller blinds in a new modern build, everything is custom-made. We also have a fantastic outdoor range like Zipscreen blinds to help locals get the most out of their alfresco spaces year-round.”
