PROLIGHT CONCEPTS GROUP | RELOCATES HQ

It has been an exciting and busy time over the past few months - in fact, the past few years, for the Prolight Concepts Group team. Within the last three years, the Prolight Concepts Group has not only introduced a state-of-the-art ERP system, created a brand new website and released a 350 page catalogue, it has now relocated to its new warehouse and office complex, aptly named ‘Lumen House’, in Blackburn, Lancashire, UK. Having spent over 15 years in Darwen, Prolight never imagined that it would outgrow the 37,000 sq ft premises but the company officially waved goodbye to its HQ, where it have been situated since 2003. This move has provided the company with significant room to grow and expand its product portfolio, and to continue to supply and distribute professional lighting and audio equipment to the entertainment, professional installation, architectural and leisure markets around the globe.

After weeks of hard work from the dedicated Prolight team and external contractors, the renovations to its vast new warehousing and office facility in Blackburn were completed. Prolight Concepts Groups’ bustling new hub sees a tenfold increase in office and workshop space and treble the amount of warehouse bays, with long-standing and new employees already settled in, enjoying the new facilities and excited about the future. The 1.6-acre site incorporates a large open plan office and modern high bay warehouse with a narrow-aisle layout increasing stock holding efficiency, plus multiple delivery and dispatch bays. Communication is key at Prolight, so it has adopted the same open-plan office layout from the previous premises allowing the sales, marketing, purchasing, accounts and managerial staff to interact efficiently. Additionally, it has two new purpose-built rooms allowing photographers

and videographers to continue to provide high quality digital and print media. With the M65 motorway being within such close proximity, the new location has excellent transport links to the M6 and the rest of the country for fast and efficient distribution, along with easy access for visiting customers and suppliers. “With the help of many external contractors and our own dedicated team, we have fully renovated our new warehouse and office complex, and after many long days and nights, we can finally say that ‘Lumen House’ is now our new home,” said Andrew Jeffrey, Managing Director. “This move is an investment in our future and will create many new opportunities for our businesses development and expansion. This truly is an exciting time for the Prolight Concepts Group, and we look forward to supporting our existing customers and developing new relationships.” www.prolight.co.uk
