UK - Northern Light has announced a number of changes to its operation to allow it to concentrate on its core business, which the company reports is currently expanding. The company says the changes will allow further development of its project installation, engineering and manufacturing divisions, which are currently handling some 30 projects throughout the UK - including the new Gateshead Music Centre, Newcastle College Performance Academy, Perth Concert Hall and the Tally Ho Arts Centre at Finchley in North London.

The Reading office will close at the end of March and all matters relating to overseas sales will now be referred to the head office in Edinburgh. Derek Gilbert will continue to work with the company as a consultant. The Audio Visual arm of Northern Light, based at Reading and known as Immedia, will close and all AV contracts and sales will be handled through Immedia at the Edinburgh HQ.

The current service operation in Edinburgh is being amalgamated with the Projects Department in Edinburgh. Greg Joy, who has managed the Service Department for the last few years, leaves the company, and any out of normal working-hours calls should be made to the Edinburgh office, where they will be dealt with by engineers in the Projects Department.

As part of the restructuring arrangements Dave Martin, formerly the sales manager, and Andrew Emond, formerly the contracts manager, also leave the company.
