Simplex Marketing has acquired Lighting For Gardens, strengthening its position in the outdoor lighting industry. The acquisition enhances Simplex's product offerings, combining expertise in distribution and high-quality outdoor lighting solutions across various sectors.
Founded in 1998 by garden lighting expert John Raine, Lighting For Gardens is based in Letchworth and has a reputation for delivering high-quality outdoor lighting projects across more than 15 European countries. The company has also been involved in high-profile projects in Dubai, including installations for golf clubs, celebrity homes, and luxury hotels. The Elipta product range, known for its durability and design, has been a staple in outdoor lighting for years.
Simplex Marketing, based in Nelson, Lancashire, is an importer, distributor, and online retailer of decorative and utility lighting, along with associated electrical products. The company has achieved market leadership by delivering exceptional service and value, with a strong focus on innovation and customer satisfaction. Simplex’s Directors bring over 30 years of experience in the lighting industry, and are the driving force behind the successful e-commerce platform Lighting Supermarket.
The acquisition of Lighting For Gardens aligns with Simplex Marketing’s strategy to expand its reach and enhance its product offerings. With Lighting For Gardens’ expertise in outdoor lighting and Simplex’s experience in distribution and retail, the two companies are well-positioned to offer a broader range of high-quality lighting solutions to customers across various sectors.
Both brands will continue to operate independently, maintaining their unique identities while benefiting from shared resources and expertise. Simplex’s acquisition of Lighting For Gardens is expected to open new opportunities for innovation and growth, particularly in outdoor lighting projects for both commercial and residential clients.
As Simplex Marketing continues to grow, this acquisition reinforces its commitment to offering top-tier lighting products and services to customers across the UK and beyond.
James Pugh advised the shareholders of Lighting For Gardens on the acquisition, which was completed in 2014.
