Our festive lighting team have been hard at work on their latest installation at Lion Walk Shopping Centre in Colchester. A wide range of lighting pieces transformed the shopping space into a dazzling celebration of the holiday season. Collaboration was a cornerstone of the project’s success. The team maintained constant communication with the Centre Manager, fostering a strong partnership that ensured the provision of essential on-site facilities and logistical support. Daily updates to the client played a pivotal role in addressing minor issues promptly and adjusting the installation schedule to accommodate concurrent onsite activities.
Beyond its visual appeal, the installation incorporated sustainability considerations that contributed to a positive environmental and community impact. Choosing overnight stays in Colchester not only reduced travel emissions but also allowed for more efficient working hours, speeding up the
installation process for our client.
The decision to purchase consumables locally not only minimised the carbon footprint but also enabled us to invest in the local Colchester economy through hotel stays, consumable items, and meals. Moreover, the displays are made up of up to 50% recycled material! Our careful planning looks at all aspects of the delivery to ensure we reduce our footprint as much as possible while supporting the local economy. This demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility, aligning the project with Field & Lawn’s broader sustainability goals.
Installing any display in a shopping centre requires specific attention to detail. With visitors being able to interact much more closely with the festive lighting than any normal display, every fitting must be perfect to ensure that the displays look as impressive as possible. Pre-installation site visits proved invaluable in identifying necessary fittings that would be required. This enabled the team to remove the standard 13 amp plugs in each piece and pre-fit the required 16 amp plugs at the depot. This streamlined the on-site installation process. Having a proactive approach not only saved a considerable amount of time but also ensured a smoother execution.
