Mark Hawker C.ENG C.ENV FCIBSE FIMECHE
Simon worked for me as Electrical Design Manager for 3 years. He was extremely knowledgeable in all things electrical from LED lighting technology and controls through to designing control systems for CHP. His main contribution was working with suppliers such as GE, Zumtobel, Dextra, Philips and others to provide Sainsbury's with a complete suite of LED luminaires backed up by our own warranties that we could then roll out across the estate. The quality of the work underpinned the roll out of over 200,000 luminaires and the project being recognised with awards both from CIBSE and LUX.
