Football daft...must be, I support the Villa.Also love golf, rugby and cricket, anything with a ball really.Started in lighting after leaving school working at a local lighting wholesaler Baker Lighting in Streetly, Sutton Coldfield. Got my first sales job working for Mike Smith Designs in Wolverhampton in mid 80's before forming Portland Lighting in January 1994 along with 4 other partners.Time has moved on and people have retired, but I am and always will remain very proud of Portland Lighting and all the company has achieved as we approach 30 years of trading.Our latest venture, Portland Traffic, has been carefully planned and created by a team with vast knowledge & experience within the sector designing an unrivalled value engineered range of Bee Seen Standard and Hi-Viz Belisha Beacons, Centre Island Beacons and illuminated posts along with the Hydra road traffic sign light and subway lighting.
