Can you believe it’s been over six months since Ranjit Reehal joined us as an Area Sales Manager? Time flies when you’re making strides! From day one, Ranjit has been enthusiastic, energetic, and passionate about our “small but mighty” team and our Made in Britain commitment. So, we thought it was time to catch up with him and see how he’s finding life at Acrospire.
Why Acrospire?
For Ranjit, joining Acrospire felt like the perfect fit. “It was a logical move for me,” he shares. “I’d worked with some of the team before—they’re a great bunch, and it just felt right.” The transition has given him more time to do what he loves most: connect with customers. Unlike at larger companies, where admin work can often pull focus from customer needs, Acrospire’s leaner approach keeps Ranjit right where he’s happiest—out in the field, building connections and growing our brand presence in the heart of the UK, within the M25.
The Acrospire team and products – A perfect match!
One thing Ranjit loves most: The team. “It feels like family here,” he says. “We’re small enough to care but big enough to cope – that’s the ethos. It’s not just about work; it’s about working with people who have your back.” When it comes to products, Ranjit highlights the wide variety and quality we’re known for. From our iconic Heritage range to the new vandal-proof subway luminaires, there’s always something exciting to share with customers. And with industry-leading 12-year warranties, it’s no wonder our customers are hooked!
Customer impressions – Proudly Made in Britain
One of the things that sets us apart is our commitment to British manufacturing. “Customers are impressed by our lead times and value the flexibility that comes with a Made in Britain brand,” Ranjit notes. “Our products match the top competitors, but the local production makes a real difference – it’s sustainable, cost-effective, and represents fantastic value for money.”
Six months in, Ranjit has already made his mark. He’s a perfect fit for our Acrospire family, bringing his own flair and expertise while championing what makes us unique. Here’s to many more months of success, teamwork, and exciting developments ahead!
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.
A simple ethos
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
Speed of response is crucial when it comes to resolving warranty issues. If we’ve made a mistake, we own it, get to the root cause, and fix it as quickly as possible. We believe in timely communication with our customers and making the resolution pro
Test and Test Again
We believe in independent testing and certification. Our new product development is in line with ISO 9001. Many of our products hold ENEC Certification. To meet the requirements of ENEC we also send random product samples for third party safety testi
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
