Look for Blindsinabox on AmazonFull story →Simeone Salik pitched a temporary window blind that clips in without drilling, asking £40,000 for half the company, and Duncan Bannatyne and James Caan agreed to split the stake between them.
It is still running, and by the standards of this batch of pitches it counts as one of the true long-haulers.
Why Half The Company Made Sense
A renter or new homeowner facing a bare window usually has two bad options, wait weeks for a fitted blind or pay for professional installation on a home they may not stay in, and Salik's product skipped both. Handing over half the equity for £40,000 fit an idea that still needed real money and shop-floor relationships to go anywhere.
Caan and Bannatyne splitting a single investment was unusual for that point in the show's run, and both men had retail backgrounds that mattered more than marketing budget for a product that needed physical shelf space.
The Argos Listing And What Followed
Distribution through Argos followed not long after transmission, putting the blinds into more than 800 branches, a huge jump for what had been a tiny outfit. Customer feedback dated as late as March 2025 mentions quick dispatch and easy fitting, suggesting operations have not slipped.
Companies House lists accounts filed in August 2025, with another return due in 2026, and the company sells exclusively through its own site rather than through Amazon.
Why It Outlasted Its Rivals
Window coverings are cheap to copy but expensive to unseat once a supplier has locked in retail shelf space, and this business appears to have done exactly that. Going nineteen years without a buyout, a merger or a quiet closure is unusual for pitches from this stretch of the archive.
Anyone shopping now should go to the company's own website, and current filings give no sign that will need to change soon.
