UK: Refrigeration lighting company Advance International has moved to new larger premises in Hilton, Derbyshire, following a highly successful 18 months.

The move sees the head office, manufacturing, warehousing and distribution brought together on one site and allows space for further growth.

“The company has grown rapidly in the last five years. Lighting has changed fundamentally since we began and Advance have been at the forefront of delivering bespoke and standard, energy efficient lighting to some of the biggest names on the British high street,” commented Advance md Simon Deacon.

We will be asking all of our clients to visit the new premises and looking forward to showcasing them around our facility as we enter a new era for Advance.”

The new address is 1 Lowman Way, Hilton Business Park, Hilton, Derby DE65 5LJ. The main telephone number remains as 01332 865777.
