Scaling New Heights: Just Shutters Founder Chris Rocker’s Inspirational Climb up Mount Kilimanjaro

At the impressive age of 67, Chris Rocker, founder of Just Shutters, has once again proven that he’s a force to be reckoned with. This time, however, his achievement wasn’t about expanding his successful shutter business or pioneering a new market—Chris recently scaled Mount Kilimanjaro, the tallest freestanding mountain in the world! As the oldest member of his climbing group, Chris stood proudly on the summit, proving age is just a number when driven by determination and a zest for life.

Chris’s trek up Kilimanjaro is a testament to the qualities that have defined his career: resilience, drive, and the ability to rally those around him. Known for his dedication, both as an entrepreneur and a team leader, Chris’s journey from the base to the peak of Kilimanjaro reflects the same commitment he has for his business. Joined by an incredible team and a crew that pushed through challenges together, there was a strong camaraderie that made the journey truly unforgettable.

An Entrepreneurial Journey

Chris founded Just Shutters in 2006 with a vision to transform homes with beautiful, custom shutters that bring warmth, privacy, and style. From humble beginnings in Dorset, he grew Just Shutters into a respected brand recognised for its high-quality products and exceptional service. Chris’s entrepreneurial journey hasn’t just been about growing a business but about building a family of franchisees who share his vision and values.

Under Chris’s leadership, Just Shutters has become a trusted name in the industry, known for quality and innovation. His commitment to quality craftsmanship and exceptional customer service has earned the business a loyal customer base across the UK. Chris’s hands-on approach and dedication have driven Just Shutters’ success, and he’s fostered an environment where franchisees feel supported and inspired.

Scaling Personal and Professional Peaks

Beyond his accomplishments in business, Chris’s Kilimanjaro trek is a reminder of the power of personal goals. Just as he guides his franchise network to reach new heights, he applies the same ambition to his own life, pushing himself to do things many might think impossible. And his climb of Mount Kilimanjaro is a fitting metaphor for his career—through determination, a strong support system, and relentless optimism, he has overcome challenges and achieved lasting success.

Congratulations to Chris Rocker for this monumental achievement! He’s shown us all that whether it’s scaling mountains or leading a thriving business with passion and tenacity, the sky is truly the limit.
