BLACKBURN, Lancashire, U.K. — With the support of lighting rental company HSL, A&O Technology launched a U.K. warehouse to complement its facilities in Europe, the U.S. and the Middle East. Shown here, from left, are HSL’s Simon Stuart and Mike Oates, with A&O’s Marco Niedermeier. A&O UK’s facility will supply the U.K. and Ireland with Falcon architectural and entertainment products. The company also plans to open an office in London. HSL, which has worked with A&O’s Falcon line of products for the last three years and currently holds the largest stock of A&O’s Falcon fixtures in the U.K., will provide service and technical support.
“This is a perfect opportunity to strengthen our worldwide business and commercial network,” said Niedermeier, MD of A&O. “It will allow us to continue expanding the continuity of service for which the company is renowned, and it will be particularly beneficial for transatlantic and inter-continental projects.”
“We’ve made a substantial investment in A&O products recently, and have specified and used them on a huge variety of projects,” said Stuart, MD of HSL. “Our experiences have given us complete confidence in their quality and reliability, and we’ve decided to cement our relationship with A&O by offering our expertise and knowledge in supporting this new company. We see massive potential for all products, particularly searchlights, in many applications, despite the current economic climate.”
Stuart added that HSL and A&O have many elements in common, particularly in their commitment to the human factors of their businesses, coupled with complete dedication to excellent standards of service
Alpha One manufactures A&O’s Falcon line of products. HSL has recently used Falcon products on Snow Patrol, Massive Attack, the Vodafone Music Awards, Don’t Forget The Lyrics, Madness and other shows and events.
