Manager Iain Weir at black light's new Glasgow office.
UK - Scottish lighting specialist black light has formally launched its new Glasgow office, adding a significant string to the bow of Scotland's Lighting Company. Based in the Parkhead area of the city, the new office has actually been open for several months, during which time general manager Iain Weir has been building up the business, stock levels and developing relationships with a range of clients on the western side of Scotland and northern England. "Giving the office an initially low-key opening was a deliberate policy," says Iain. "That way we could ensure that everything was in place and working at 110% efficiency before the official launch."

"The new office shows black light being both proactive and reactive," adds managing director Gavin Stewart. "There is an enormous range of projects on the western side of the country, which we are now right on the spot to serve as a lighting supplier and advisor. It also means we are able to respond to client requirements very quickly, if you need something that we don't have in stock, we'll ensure it's available at very short notice - and then permanently available in the future."

Before joining black light full-time, Weir was a regular client of the company in a range of technical, stage management and lighting design positions, so he is ideally placed to serve client needs most efficiently. "As a client myself until recently, my bringing that experience into the company means we will have the essential 'client's eye view' in the Glasgow office as well as the Edinburgh headquarters," he says.
