Heritage lighting specialists William Sugg & Co will be exhibiting for the first time at the prestigious Historic Buildings, Parks & Gardens Event (HBPGE), taking place at The QEII Conference Centre, London on the 12th November. Exhibiting on stand C14 the William Sugg team will be showcasing a curated collection from their heritage range, which offers traditional craftsmanship and design paired with modern technology to provide authentic lighting with outstanding performance.
As one of the key gatherings for professionals in the heritage, restoration, and conservation sectors, the Historic Buildings, Parks & Gardens Event provides a unique platform for William Sugg to share its latest contributions to the preservation and enhancement of historic sites, landscapes, and architecture. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about how the company’s heritage lighting solutions support the conservation of heritage assets while addressing modern-day challenges.
Suppliers of decorative heritage gas and electric exterior lighting for over 175 years, William Sugg’s team of skilled artisans design, handcraft, reproduce, refurbish and refit heritage lighting for a range of projects across the country and around the globe. The company’s extensive expertise in historic buildings, parks and gardens is renowned, and includes projects at Buckingham Palace, in Hyde Park and the Houses of Parliament, for organisations such as English Heritage and the National Trust, and for projects with historical significance such as the Bluebell Railway. The company was also commissioned to provide an eye-catching heritage lighting feature for the gold-medal winning garden at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show, designed by Robert Myers. The company’s historical Grosvenor lantern design was specified to take centre stage in the arresting entrance archway, reminiscent of the gateway leading to the churchyard of St James’s Piccadilly.
Tailoring to the specific needs of each individual project, the company draws on the expertise and historical knowledge of Chris Sugg, the founder, William Sugg’s Great Great Grandson, its Historical Advisor and Honorary Director.
For almost 40 years, the annual event for historic buildings, landscape conservation and heritage sectors plays host to owners, guardians, volunteers, professional management staff and advisors from all three sectors. Featuring over 70 exhibitors from the historic buildings, landscape conservation and heritage sectors, the HBPGE will include live demonstrations, short talks and the opportunity to meet with industry experts.
