    Sue and Gord Swarbrick, Co-Owners

    We love this crazy world of window coverings. Never did we ever imagine we would move to Manitoba and travel the province providing finishing touches in thousands of homes and businesses. But here we are 11 years in, with a wonderful team of humans that care like we do and so many relationships made with the people we serve. And we are grateful!

    Sue Swarbrick

    Owner & Product Specialist

    Lutron Certified Smart Home Expert

    Inspired Drapes Certification

    Sue began her adventure with Budget Blinds in Regina where her eldest son Joey was hired as an installer. Sue joined the dynamic Regina team as a Style Consultant after leaving management with Reitmans. After experiencing the Budget Blinds model, it was not long after that she and Gord decided they would like to try their hand at owning their own franchise.

    Since opening their doors in 2011, they’ve thrived in rural Manitoba. Not only emphasized by their reputation in the area, but internationally with the corporate side of Budget Blinds. Sue has been asked many times to speak on panels, assist new franchise owners, and has been awarded for their specific contributions to the Budget Blinds brand. 

    You just need to see Sue in action to know that she has been crafted to do this kind of work. Having a diverse background in a multitude of service industry positions, Sue is masterful when it comes to providing an exceptional customer experience. 

    If she’s the one that comes to your door to consult on window treatments, you know you’re in good hands!

    Laurie Smitzniuk

    Professional Installer

    Smart Home Certified

    Laurie has been a part of the Budget Blinds team since November 2015, and is a valued veteran.

    He has a steady and methodical approach to installation which ensures the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed. When Laurie goes out on installs he’s quick to send back e-mails with a picture and a quippy phrase letting the team hear the feedback of the customer or how the job itself went: "looking good, customer very happy."

    If Laurie is the one installing your product, you can count on a job well done. If something is amiss, he ensures the communication goes to the people who will help correct the issue. Not only that, he's got a great sense of humour and is an all around lovely human.
