Wilkins originally trained in stage management at the Guildford School of Acting, after which he worked for a number of hire companies rigging lighting and staging equipment. It was the lighting side of the business that caught his imagination and he joined Strand Lighting, where he stayed for seven years, doing a variety of jobs including estimator, project manager and mobile sales engineer. A variety of other jobs primarily in the lighting industry gave him the broad experience that he now brings to Selecon.
"My job primarily is to manage the UK operation and look after our network of distributors," said Wilkins. "I'm convinced that the Selecon range is as good as it gets," he continued, "and the fact that the company is putting a lot of R&D into luminaire design is impressive."
