Chris Rocker - Founder
Chris Rocker founded Just Shutters in Bournemouth in 2006.
Chris says: ‘We live and work in Bournemouth and luckily we are only about half a mile from the sea. I spent most of my school years here but moved away to join the Royal Air Force. In June 2000 I was offered, and accepted, a directorship of an AIM-listed company based in Oxfordshire. Although this was some distance away, Bournemouth was the natural place to return to and offered so much more than where we had been living. I feel that this area offers so much to us that it is difficult to envisage living anywhere else!
‘In 2006 after having fallen in love with Plantation Shutters, a dream of starting a specialist company to meet the growing demand in the field was realised, Just Shutters was born. We have grown steadily and strongly over the past decade and now there is a Just Shutters business covering over 150 towns and cities in the UK. I am passionate about what we offer, how we can provide the very best solution individually for all houses and with over 50% of our business coming from recommendations and additional orders I guess that our customers agree too.
‘The vision and inspiration for Just Shutters was, is, and will always be to offer a beautiful product at great value with the best levels of customer service possible. I am delighted that we have been able to consistently do this; one of my measures of success is the feedback we receive from customers via Checkatrade.com.’
Nick Sumbler

Nick has developed a deep understanding of both the retail and franchise industries; he has a proven track record of delivering results and helping businesses grow.
Based in Bournemouth, Nick is passionate about football and other sports, but his biggest soft spot is for animals. His love for them reflects his caring and warm nature, qualities that also define his approach to working with people. Whether through sports or spending time with his pets, he enjoys staying active and engaged with the world around him.
Nick says, “I’m delighted to be part of Just Shutters and look forward to working closely with our business owners across the country.
