Lamps and Lighting Turns 40 |
2011 could prove to be a momentous year with royal weddings and the 40th anniversary celebrations of the specialist lighting company, Lamps & Lighting. The company was formed on the 25th May 1971 by John Walton who has spent more than 50 years in the electrical and lighting industry. Although he officially retired 15 years ago, passing the business on to his son Nigel Walton, he still maintains a keen interest in the business and is a regular visitor to the factory. Lamps & Lighting manufactures and supplies high quality, technical and decorative luminaires for interior and exterior applications. The company has become an authority on lighting and is able to assist with the design, development and specifications for a wide variety of high volume projects. The company also specialises in energy efficient light sources and controllable lighting with detectors in response to demand for more environmentally friendly products. Lamps & Lighting has evolved considerably over the forty years but retained its roots in Lancashire. From small beginnings in Great Harwood, this well-established family business has expanded its facilities moving into a purpose built factory on the Network 65 Business Park. The company’s development has been shaped by the long-term, close working relationships it has forged within the industry. The company has a well deserved reputation for excellence and customer service and is currently working on a large scale project for BT. “We are very proud to supply such a prestigious company as BT, we believe that it is a quality endorsement of our products and services” said Managing Director, Nigel Walton. Nigel puts the company’s success down
to attention to detail and ensuring that the customer is always
central to its plans and activities. “We are constantly striving to
develop and design products that can be bought with confidence and
are highly regarded for both their quality and performance”. Nigel
is understandably proud of the high rate of repeat business the
company carries out. “Customer satisfaction is a fantastic
recommendation for our products. The size and structure of our
company can work to our advantage as we offer our customers total
flexibility in terms of design, development and supply.” As the company prepares to mark four decades of history, former owner John Walton is looking forward to a double celebration: his 80th birthday later in the year. According to one of his many mottos, “past experience, if not forgotten, is definitely a guide for the future”.
