DIRECTOR

ROBERT PARKES

Robert was destined to be in the lighting game.
As a boy growing up in the 80's, Robert was constantly surrounded by lighting chat. His father Brian was a lighting specialist for over 30 years, travelling the globe working on top hospitality projects and attending export meetings. Family holidays consisted of trips around Europe and America with lighting catalogues being the go-to car read.
Years of visiting hotels with his father studying lights and learning about lampshades was lighting 'Jedi' training (Robert just never knew it). He saw how lighting design trends, materials and LED evolved through the years.
Robert became involved in the family business in the 90's, but after a few years went on to work in the semiconductor industry, becoming a service Engineer in the Microelectronics industry. However, in 2002 he knew that Lighting was what made him happy, and he came back to join Brian in the Family Lighting business. The knowledge Robert gained during his microelectronics career gave him the skill set and understanding of technical lighting and how to use this within a project.
Since then, Robert has worked within many sectors of Lighting sales and represented some of the UK and Europes top manufacturers. He loves to travel around the UK and Ireland, visiting the countries best retailers, Designers and Architects.
So if you would like to set up a meeting with Robert, please get in touch.
