Prolight expands with Blackburn property acquisition

Prolight Concepts has purchased the freehold interest in the former Eurospec Warehouse in Blackburn.

The move sees the firm relocate from Darwen to Blackburn, and represents a near doubling of its existing property size and treble the amount of warehouse bays as well as providing suitable room for further growth.

The site will now house the growing sales offices, warehouse, service department and showroom for Prolight, which has grown to be a successful distributor of professional entertainment lighting and audio equipment.

The acquisition was supported by a funding package worth £1.35m from HSBC.

Prolight Concepts is owned by husband and wife Andrew and Susanne Jeffrey, who have built the business from a local supplier of DJ disco equipment to a global name in the field supplying lighting to notable events and locations, including the BBC, as well as leading event rental companies worldwide.

Andrew Jeffrey said: “We are delighted to be able to secure the future growth of our business with this key property purchase. "We have been looking for a location to build on the growth we have already achieved, and it was important to achieve this in the local area so we could maintain our highly skilled team."
