Paul started his lighting days at Urbis, where he honed his skills as a paint sprayer, even stepping up to cover for the supervisor when needed. Fast forward to Acrospire, and Paul’s expertise in column, bracket assembly, and lantern builds became invaluable. He doesn’t just get things done; he optimises them! Whether it’s tackling a customer challenge or meeting a deadline at all costs (even if it means pulling an extra shift), Paul’s commitment is legendary.
But Paul’s leadership goes beyond technical skills. He leads his team with passion and integrity, instilling the company’s core values in every member.
He’s also our newly qualified 5S ambassador, driving continuous improvement in production with the same zeal he brings to everything else.
Let’s just say Paul’s not just a teammate; he’s an integral part of the Acrospire family. We recently sat down with him to get to know him better.

Our story
The idea for Acrospire was formed in 2012 when founder Tim envisioned a different kind of lighting manufacturer: one that would not only deliver outstanding customer experiences but also prioritise fair treatment for its employees.
We’ve come a long way
Motivated by the belief the industry wanted and needed better, Tim shared his plan to establish his own venture with Hatty, who simply couldn't let him do it alone.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Protecting local jobs and ensuring the best quality possible.
Working from a rented office by day and assembling lanterns in a garage at night, Tim and Hatty set to work.
11 Years later
Acrospire now inhabits a 14000² ft manufacturing facility in Basingstoke, Hampshire. We’re a proud partner of the Made in Britain scheme, ISO9001 certified and a member of all relevant lighting industry trade bodies.
Along with great relationships with our customers and a great team! We've attracted some of the most experienced members of the lighting industry, all by following one golden rule.

That runs through all that we do. Customers who have made the switch to Acrospire have found working with us to be a breath of fresh air.
If you’re a professional in the lighting industry, you’re probably familiar with warranties that range from 3 to 10 years, with extensions available on special request or at additional cost. At Acrospire, where we’re proud to be different, we offer a market-leading simple 12-year warranty, as standard.
We focus on our customers not our competition. We manufacture our products in the UK: with the exception of our solar products, our supply chain is within a 60-mile radius of our factory in Basingstoke: to maintain greater control over quality. We al

Our product design is another key factor in our ability to offer a 12-year warranty. We value engineer rather than cost cut, never compromising on quality. We stick to our processes and engage with our supply chain to ensure that every product meets
