NORTHERN LIGHT ANNOUNCES STOCK CLEAR OUT TO AID EXPANSION

Northern Light, one of the UK’s leading designers and installers of technical theatre systems, has today announced plans for an expansion of its events arm – NL Productions.

Colin Cuthbert, Managing Director of Northern Light, said:  “Since we rebranded our event production arm, we have been working on some extremely high profile events, such as the MOBO Awards and this year’s Enchanted Forest.  We’re actively seeking – and winning - more work of this kind and have taken the decision to build our events business around the needs of servicing large scale events.  This will also stand us in good stead for offering even better service to our smaller clients."

To assist in creating warehouse space and updating of equipment, Northern Light has set up an online auction of ex-hire equipment that is no longer needed.

Phil O’Halloran, Head of NL Productions, said:  “Our plans for expansion and investment in new equipment mean that we needed to carry out a bit of a spring clean to free up some storage space and give our stock an overhaul.  We found quite a lot of kit that we no longer used and decided to auction it."

The equipment auction is being hosted by Sweeney Kincaid and closes on Thursday 24^th November at 12 noon.  The list of items available for purchase includes lanterns, sound kit, control desks, power distribution equipment, projection screens, lighting effect units and various other items.

Cuthbert concluded:  “There’s some great stuff available.  If I had more space at home and wasn’t in awe of my wife’s wrath I would be bidding myself!  Once we’ve got this kit shifted out of our warehouse we can then proceed with our upgrade and expansion plans for NL Productions.  I’m very much looking forward to building on our early success with NL Productions and watching our market share steadily grow."

The items being auctioned can be found on the Sweeney Kincaid website.
