California Shutters Company Announces Real Life Story Winner

The California Company today announced Ms Patience Gent of Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, Wales as the latest winner of their ‘Real Life Stories’ prize draw.

Patience was delighted to be chosen having submitted her shutters story to The California Company back in September 2008. As Patience tells us...

“I was delighted to get a call from Chrissie to tell me what I’d been chosen for the prize draw. I had another couple of windows which I was going to buy blinds for in the New Year, but getting this call means I’ll have brand new blinds before Christmas. The best bit is, they’re free!! All because I sent in a few photos and a little story about the shutters I bought for my kitchen and bathroom!”

Patience purchased shutters from The California Company’s online shutter shop and was over the moon with the results. New shutters were needed for her kitchen in picturesque Pembrokeshire and Patience found The California Company while doing an online search for companies in Wales selling plantation shutters. “There were very few companies in Wales selling plantation shutters. I’d seen them in different magazines and loved the look of the wood stained shutters instead of the painted shutters that you see featured a lot. While searching for companies selling shutters in Pembrokeshire, I came across the California Company and thought the information provided was very useful. I had someone who could fit the shutters for me, so went for it!

I am delighted that I did and the colour of the shutters was a perfect match for my new kitchen units. So much so, that I went ahead and ordered another set of shutters for my bathroom.

I couldn’t believe it when I was notified I’d won the draw! All I did was send in a short story about my experience working with the company and emailed a few photos to say thanks. Getting this prize is, however, most welcome!”
