“At the heart of this success is our commitment to re-invest in UK manufacturing and our passion for developing innovative and energy-efficient new lighting technologies, such as our coolLED LED drivers and Leafnut street lighting controls.”

The firm plans to expand abroad with new offices in Australia and mainland Europe.
