About Us

 



Our Reputation:
We at Talbot & Son have been manufacturing and selling sunblinds and canopies in the Isle of Man since 1970. A small workshop under Bob Talbot's house was the starting point of the business, which in his retirement in 1982 moved to purpose built premises in Victoria Road, Douglas. The business has now grown to some 9,000 square feet of workshop and showrooms in Derby Square, Douglas, and remain essentially a family-run firm under the personal management of Andy Talbot and his brother-in-law, Ian Large, assisted by an enthusiastic and skilled staff. We pride ourselves on our reputation for providing high standards of service and quality and are fully committed to further strengthening our reputation.
