Nelson company creates specialist lighting newspaper

BRIGHT TIMES: Project co-ordinators Harriet Holly and Jodie Rawes show off the new Illuminate newspaper at Chantelle Lighting

Chantelle Lighting, which provides a range of bespoke and off-the-shelf pieces for the trade and commissioned work for celebrities from its works on the Lomeshaye Industrial Estate, has launched “Illuminate”, a 12-page newspaper featuring recent works handmade within the company’s factory workshop by skilled craftsmen and women.

Managing Director Anthony Holly said: “We have run adverts and exhibited at lighting shows in the past and they have worked for us, but we wanted to offer something different.

“The newspaper enables us to really showcase what we have to offer, using large images to visually get our messages across.

“We are thrilled with our first edition and it has already won us work with big London designers.

“The first newspaper was all about industrial lighting, which is really big at the moment, and in the next it will be all about chandeliers and diamonds, which are popular among our celebrity audience.”

Lighting from Chantelle can be found in a range of restaurants, bars, retail outlets, entertainment venues, hotels and spas across the UK, including the Woodland Spa at Crow Wood Leisure in Burnley, which features in the newspaper across a double page spread.

Anthony added: “We have supplied lighting for the Hilton and De Vere hotel chains as well as for Wetherspoons’ pubs, Nando’s restaurants and the Next retail chain, but not many people know just how high profile our work is. Now’s the time to shout about our successes and share our talent with even more big name brands across the UK and beyond.”

Chantelle was set up by Mr Holly in Burnley 24 years ago when he opened his first retail shop an d has expanded steadily ever since.
