Decades of Highland Craft
About the Big Furniture Group article:
This year marks 145 years of Highland BlindCraft!
We started life in 1881 as a school for blind children, and over time grew into what we are today – a social enterprise focused on creating meaningful employment and handcrafted beds made right here in the Highlands.
A lot has changed over the years, but if you walked into our workshop today, you’d still recognise the same care and skill that’s always been part of what we do.
What really makes Highland BlindCraft though is our people. Many of our team have been with us for decades building careers and progressing within the organisation. We’re also lucky to have customers who come back to us time and time again for first beds to later-life comfort.
Alongside our beds and mattresses, we also deliver sensory services across the Highlands and Western Isles. Every bed we make helps support that work, from creating local jobs to helping people live more independently following sight loss.
Reaching 145 years has given us a chance to reflect, but also to look ahead. We’re already thinking about what 150 years might look like, while staying focused on what matters most – our team and a great night's sleep!
