"2010 was a milestone year for Blinding Light," commented managing director, Patrick Stacey. "In August, as a result of the company's growth, we moved into brand new premises that met our requirements for increased warehouse and pre-production space to support the projects that we have been working on."
Turbo has over 25 years' of experience in the industry and has had a successful career working for a number of industry leading lighting design companies as well as operating as a freelancer. His recent projects include a number of high profile events including lighting the BBC's Proms in the Park for the 9th consecutive year.
"I asked Blinding Light to work with me on this year's Proms in the Park event which also included lighting for Sunday mass with the Pope," commented Hall. "I was really impressed with Blinding Light, it was the first time I'd worked with the company, their attention to detail and commitment to supply exactly what was asked for made it "very easy" for myself and the team on site."
