Sugg Lighting, the oldest lighting company in the UK, has recently been exposed to stop trading.
Founded in 1837, Sugg Lighting has a 182-year history and was awarded a Royal Certification in 2008. Known for its traditional streetlights, gas and electric light sources, it is illuminated by palaces, government buildings and famous cultural heritage projects around the world. Its gorgeous Sugg lampposts and decorative lanterns are still decorated with numerous avenues and famous places around the world. Buildings and parks.
The news said that Sugg Lighting operations have ended this month. Sugg’s brand, assets, tools, customers and ongoing business were acquired this week by a company called JW UK LTD.
JW UK LTD is a manufacturer specializing in the production and repair of traditional lighting and street furniture. Boss and lighting industry veteran Joe Webb said that after the acquisition, the Sugg brand will continue to operate, but will operate at JW’s office.
It is reported that F W Thorpe, a former shareholder of Sugg Lighting, has offered Sugg a loan to buy a factory in Horsham, Sussex, and to help with cash flow. But after a period of financial turmoil, he sold his stake in August last year to a British furniture manufacturing company called Wessex Bristol.
When the news of this bankruptcy acquisition came out, many people expressed regret. Especially for those responsible for maintaining the lighting of old buildings, parks and public places, it is a heavy blow, and it also casts a shadow over the glorious history of British manufacturing.
Since 1911, Sugg Lighting’s gas lamps have illuminated the entrance to Buckingham Palace. The gas lamp was set up about a hundred years ago in the British colonial period, the traditional classical upright Rochester type. In this respect, the British lighting company Sugg Lighting has been the most successful, and there are still many in London, England. Similar street lights. The most special feature of this traditional hand-made streetlight is that the top of the lamp has a post-like shape, and then extends to the aluminum castings and bobbins of the lamp body, which is one of the representative features of British traditional classical elegance.
