Q3 2021

56 | Q3 2021 Jun21141 Lighting Up the Night Having been accredited as the ‘Best Specialist Festive Lighting Company’ in 2021 for the UK, AJC Group is a bespoke lighting specialist with a difference. With a reputation for reliability that it has been earning since its inception, and a talent for highly flexible lighting design that is shared by its entire team, its work has proven itself time and time again. AJC Group is a company that has been involved in advanced electrical contracting since 1985. Founded by exemplary mind in his field, Tony Clarke, the company it became remains to this day thoroughly invested in electrical contracting, forever pushing this field forward towards greater heights of success in order to continually provide bigger, better, and more bespoke lighting solutions. Fundamentally, this has greatly endeared it to its clients, as it has proven time and time again the professional diligence and industry knowledge that has secured its place as a leading lighting specialist. Having developed a long list of clients for whom AJC Group is the lighting solution of choice, it has a large physical presence across both England and Ireland, with a Downpatrick headquarters that clocks in at 70,000 square foot of storage and business facilities. This huge warehouse and fulfilment area is supported by its supplementary offices, located in Great Portland Street London and Perth, Scotland. Being the largest installation company for festive lighting in the UK and Ireland, its pedigree has been developed over time and with sustainability in mind, growing its business alongside its client list in order to allow it to flawlessly keep up with demand. Moreover, each client it works with can rest assured that it will deliver flawless festive lighting for their events every time without fail, backed up by the reviews and referrals of its past customers. This enhances the reliability that it has grown over time. In tandem with all of this, it has recently established its own range of industry leading festive lights in AJC Illuminations. Through this service provision, it brings the dependability and excellence of its usual lighting service installations and takes it to the next level, allowing clients to choose from a variety of in-house options and work with its outstanding graphic design team in order to offer a bespoke, contemporary approach to lighting design. In everything, its goal is complete customer satisfaction; it knows that no two clients are the same, and so it knows that no two lighting installations will be the same, working hard to ensure that each installation reflects the individuality and creativity of those involved. Therefore, it consistently prizes working with its clients as well as for them, fostering a collaborative and understanding working environment that turns the project into a labour of love. In tandem with all of this, when it comes to lighting solutions, AJC Group is ready for any challenge. Its motto of ‘the bigger the better’ shows how it will always be ready to take a project to the next level, showing the client in question how certain lighting solutions and setups could be applied to make certain features of their event stand out, and consistently pushing the envelope in order to manufacture the largest walk-through digital LED RBG tunnel in the UK. This project was massive – and a massive success – covering over 100 metres of ground with nearly 1 million individual LED lights that formed a ‘canopy of stars’ aesthetic and left visitors breathless. Furthermore, it also was the mind behind the longest sound-to-light sky net canopy in the UK. Each of these projects were ones guided and moulded by the needs of client, above all else, and perfectly reflected what each customer wanted out of the project; after all, this is the ethos that forms the backbone of AJC Group and its work. Its creations of great beauty and magnitude would not be possible without the creative input of the client, and it is thoroughly grateful to each one who allows it to bring their visions to life, always excited to see what the next challenge will be.
