"MGC Lighting Group better reflects the market areas we operate in and reinforces that we are the lighting distributor of choice for our customers," said managing director James Greig. "We have worked hard over the last 30 years to establish a good reputation. Although the old name has served us well, we needed a facelift to reflect that we are a large, modern company with global coverage, a loyal customer base, and a team that possess technical knowledge that is second to none in our industry."
MGC Lighting Group was conceived after a six-month process that involved the whole team working at its three offices in the UK, Germany and Spain. Workshops were held to consult with staff and a voting system was used to select the final logo. Under the MGC Lighting Group banner will be eight divisional brands specific to the specialist lighting areas and markets the company works in. These are: MGC Cinema, MGC Purification, MGC Medical, MGC Stage & Studio, MGC LED, MGC International, MGC Lamps and MGC OEM.
"The launch of the new MGC Lighting Group brand is just the start of the journey, however, and places us on course to take full advantage of any future business opportunities whether they are in the UK, Europe and worldwide," Greig concluded.
