Nick Blackman joins White Light Sales from VLPS/Vari-Lite Europe, where he held the position of Regional Sales Manager. Prior to that he worked for the Lighting Technology Group, for FSL International, the leading distributor of lighting, sound and AV production equipment in the Middle East; before that he was with Strand Lighting.
Blackman joins White Light Sales at a busy time - in recent weeks the company has supplied equipment to both long-planned projects and in response to emergency calls, which saw the company supply new Strand lighting consoles to both the Theatre Royal Brighton (to replace a stolen console) and the Palace Theatre in London (to replace a Light Palette 90 that reached the end of its life) in a single week.
Many of the longer-planned projects have involved equipment from Robert Juliat, for whom White Light Sales are the exclusive UK distributors. These have included the delivery of twenty new Robert Juliat 2.5kW fresnels to the Linbury Studio at the Royal Opera House, six more fresnels to the Opera House Main House, two Ivanhoe follow-spots to the Theatre Royal in Northampton and two Marius follow-spots to the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry.
In addition to the Juliat range, White Light Sales can supply equipment from a wide range of lighting manufacturers, including ETC, Strand Lighting, Selecon and many others, allowing customers to mix-and-match equipment to precisely meet their specifications. Further information about this diverse selection can be obtained by contacting White Light Sales on 020 8254 4840 or visiting the White Light Sales area of the website. Alternatively come along to the White Light Open Day, to be held at White Light's base in Wimbledon, south-west London, during the afternoon of May 15th - the perfect opportunity to try the latest products and meet our new staff.
