LONDON — GLP Light Production opened a dedicated U.K. office and named Stuart Fenwick sales coordination manager for the new operation, based at the headquarters Richard Martin Lighting (RML), a TV lighting supply firm. Fenwick was formerly with Martin Professional, Robe and Lighting Effects Distribution. GLP said the restructuring is intended to support the company’s Impression LED wash products and recently-launched Meisterstück 650W LED (RGBW), which it describes as a LED Moving Head Fresnel designed for the TV and theatre markets.
“By offering full training and demo facilities within an established company, we aim to consolidate the enormous success we are enjoying in the television and concert touring markets,” said Kasper Gissel, GLP’s business director. Gissel also noted that AC Lighting and TMB Associates would remain as the company’s exclusive U.K. distributors.
The announcement came shortly after the company forged an agreement with Mark Ravenhill, giving him the title of “director of key global players,” and is in line with GLP’s plan to further market its Impression XL and Mini (the latter launched at Prolight + Sound as the ‘Volkslicht’) as well as Meisterstück.
“This represents an exciting challenge for me,” said Fenwick. “While the market has unreservedly embraced the Impression range, we are also hugely optimistic about Meisterstück, which has been designed specifically for the television and theatre markets.”
The address of the new operation is GLP, Unit 24, Sovereign Park, Coronation Road, Park Royal, London NW10 7QP. The phone number is: +44 7545 310 611.
