Celebrating National Apprenticeship Week with Lewis. This year, we partnered with Weston College to welcome our very first apprentice, Lewis, into the team. He’s already been hands-on with major projects, learning the ins and outs of the industry. We caught up with him to hear about his experience so far! 👇 🔹 What inspired you to apply for an apprenticeship in the creative industries, and what drew you to SLX? "I've always wanted to work in the events industry since I was little I was drawn to how cool lights and moving heads operated! SLX offers a wide spectrum of equipment and events, so there's always something new to learn. Plus, with so many winter events, I get an insight into outdoor setups beyond just theatre or press conferences." 🔹 Can you share a bit about your role so far? What kind of projects have you been working on? "I've been involved in setting up and packing down at Sudeley Castle, and I’ve had the chance to work with different teams, lighting, movers, and power. It’s been great to see how everything comes together." 🔹 What’s been the most exciting or surprising part of your apprenticeship so far? "It’s very hands-on, which I love and seeing how much work goes into just one event or project.” 🔹 How do you think this experience is helping you develop your skills for a future career in the industry? "I’m gaining a deep understanding of different equipment, how to fix it, how it operates and learning the full process of planning and executing events. Plus, I’ve had the experience of working in different locations, from theatres and stadiums to private gardens." 🔹 What advice would you give to someone considering an apprenticeship in the creative industries? "I finished a degree in music production but felt lost on what to do next. This apprenticeship has given me so much hands-on experience in such a short time. I’m learning by doing, meeting amazing people, and working in the industry. If you're trying to get your foot in the door, an apprenticeship is the best way to do it!" 🔹 And finally, the most important question… what’s your favourite colour? "Burnt red!" A huge thanks to Lewis for sharing his journey so far! We’re excited to see how he continues to grow with SLX. 👏 #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #CreativeIndustries #Apprenticeship #Events #EventProfs #LightingRental

It’s with deep sadness that we share the passing of our dear colleague and friend, Dan George. Dan joined SLX in 2008 and, from day one, he brought energy, warmth, and a genuine love for his work that was simply infectious. He wasn’t just a brilliant colleague he was a joy to be around. His dedication, positivity, and the sheer fun he brought to every project made working with him something truly special. Rest easy, Dan. You will be deeply missed, but your legacy of kindness and laughter will live on. 💜

Always a pleasure to support the Thatchers Wassail, lighting up this fantastic celebration 🌟🍏
Wow – what a week! Our feet have finally touched the ground after all the celebrations. On Friday night we wassailed the Thatchers orchards, continuing a centuries old tradition that ensures a bountiful harvest for the year ahead. There was revelry and merriment as the Mendip Morris and Green Man joined Thatchers friends and family in singing, dancing, banging sticks, hanging toast and most importantly, pouring cider, all in the name of scaring away the bad spirits and welcoming the good ones for a prosperous year ahead. Wassail (waes hail) translates into modern English as ‘good health’ and was often followed by a call of ‘drinc hail’ meaning ‘drink well’. So, we wish all our followers ‘waes hail’ and invite you to join us in a cider toast 🍎🍻.

Reflecting on our first year collaboration with the stunning Ashridge House. In December, we transformed their breathtaking gardens into a magical illuminated trail, blending technical expertise with creative flair to deliver an unforgettable experience for their visitors and members. With over 20 bespoke installations and features, we carefully designed the route to enhance the natural beauty of the grounds, creating moments that delighted visitors of all ages. From shimmering light displays to interactive features, every detail was crafted to bring this iconic venue to life in a truly unique way. The feedback has been incredible, with guests describing it as “absolutely wonderful,” and praising the variety and creativity of the trail. Knowing our work brought so much joy during the festive season is what drives our team. As we look ahead to this year, we’re excited to build on the success of 2024 and elevate the experience even further with new ideas, creative designs, and innovative technology! ✨ #AshridgeHouse #OutdoorLighting #WinterLightTrail #OutdoorInstallations #LightingTrail #AshridgeIlluminated
