Whitecroft Lighting

While Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) and Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries have traditionally been the norm for powering our emergency lighting systems, at Whitecroft we've made a conscious decision to transition to Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. The reasons go beyond efficiency; it is about making a positive impact on both the environment and our customers' experience. Join Michael Govier, Head of Product and Market Innovation at Whitecroft Lighting, where he discusses the reasons why Lithium Iron batteries are the safe and sustainable choice: https://lnkd.in/eJAtZKm6 #LiFePO4 #NetZero #SBTi #Sustainablelighting

Last week, we invited the Greater Manchester Combined Authority to film our school safari with Mossley Hollins High School. The event aimed to highlight local opportunities for young people, raise awareness of apprenticeships and their benefits, and encourage them to get started with their professional journeys. Thank you to Sarah Power, who previously hosted GMCA’s ‘Demystifying Lighting Manufacturing and Apprenticeship Pathways’ webinar at the beginning of 2024 and presented this opportunity to us, helping us clear up misconceptions about manufacturing and allowing us to share our enthusiasm for inspiring young people. One of the students commented, "It was a fantastic facility. I expected to see more manual jobs, but it was great to see a mix of modern technology and investment in machinery and people operating them. Seeing the people who make it all possible highlights the variety of career paths available. This experience has already got me thinking about my career. After what I have learned today, I would consider an apprenticeship."

We're proud to support the next generation of professionals by providing hands-on experience and fostering a positive learning environment. Meet Adam Burchett, who is currently studying Business Management at Liverpool John Moores University. Adam decided to apply for work experience over his summer break to gain a broader understanding of the working environment. During his time with us, Adam shadowed the marketing department in our day-to-day operations and developed valuable skills in presenting, data analysis, and strategy planning. He also assisted with our product launch and the filming of upcoming marketing projects! Adam shared, “The welcoming and supportive environment in the marketing team has been crucial in easing my transition into the company and making me feel like a valued member of the team in a very short amount of time.” Read more about Adam’s experience in his blog post: https://lnkd.in/eyhinyGs #WorkExperience #ProfessionalDevelopment #WhitecroftLighting

Zero-fuss install with easy, on-the-spot maintenance. Not only have the benefits of Foil been maximised for the end user, but we redesigned with installers and contractors in mind. That’s why Foil now offers a staged installation, reducing the risk of damage to the product, saving onsite storage, labour-intensive movement, and making transportation easier. We’re thinking beyond installation too. A modular build approach is used throughout. For example, a removable cartridge gives quick access to emergency lighting batteries and all components allowing easy maintenance and upgrades on the spot and at floor level.
