?A WORD FROM THORN: Spring's around the corner?

As a lighting manufacturer, you'd think winter would be our favourite time of year - where people appreciate lighting more than ever with longer hours of darkness.

But we're all glad that spring's around the corner.

Now that the longer days are drawing in, we're building up to our spring launch window, where we introduce more products and technologies to enhance our portfolio, and bring you the solutions you need.?

Until then, enjoy watching the case study video showcasing the new lighting at Durham cathedral, catch up on our latest sustainability and refurbishment activities and - if you are involved in lighting for education - register for our upcoming webinar, it's not one to miss.
