Chris Boote, Commercial Manager at NVC Lighting UK, explains why successful office and commercial lighting projects rely on more than just the right products, and why support from initial specification through to completion can make all the difference.
The demands placed on today’s commercial projects have never been greater. Budgets remain under pressure, timescales continue to tighten and expectations around energy efficiency, sustainability and the quality of the finished environment continue to rise.
Whether delivering a new office fit-out, refurbishing an existing workplace or working on a major commercial development, project teams are expected to deliver quality projects, on time and on budget.
In that environment, choosing the right lighting product is only part of the equation.
More than the product
Today’s contractors, consultants and specifiers need technical expertise as specifications evolve, practical support when challenges arise and confidence that there is an experienced team behind every project.
Behind every project is a joined-up UK team. Our Area Business Development Managers work closely with dedicated in-house Lighting Design, Projects, Technical, Customer Service and Product teams, supporting customers from initial enquiry and specification right through to delivery and after-sales support.
This is backed by a 360-degree approach to lighting, with solutions for the whole project. From offices, meeting rooms and reception areas to corridors, back-of-house and industrial spaces, through to emergency lighting, controls, car parks, exterior areas and architectural and roof lighting, NVC can help bring the requirements of an entire site together.
Emergency is an important part of that approach. As an ICEL member, NVC provides dedicated emergency lighting expertise, with solutions backed by an up to 7-year no-nonsense warranty, including batteries.
Experience where it matters
NVC has delivered projects across offices and commercial developments, education, healthcare, industrial and logistics, residential, retail and data centres, bringing broad experience to every project.
At Calztec Fitout’s Romsley Point workspace, NVC supported a contemporary office designed around flexible working and collaboration, with DALLAS PRO specified throughout alongside ARLINGTON LiFe emergency lighting.
For Future Publishing’s London offices, NVC helped create the right working environment for more than 120 employees, including areas with little or no natural light. The completed upgrade also
At Royal Albert Dock in London, NVC developed a solution incorporating 6,500 emergency fittings based on STERLING panels, adapted specifically to work with the development’s air handling system.
Products matter. People make the difference.
As Chris Boote explains:
“Customers don’t just buy lighting products, they’re buying confidence. Every project is different, so having the products, expertise and people to support the whole site really matters.
Our teams work closely together, making sure customers get the support they need from the first enquiry right through to project completion and beyond.
Because ultimately, successful lighting projects aren’t built on products alone. They’re built on the people behind them.”
