NEW AWARD-WINNING LUMINAIRE FROM
THORN LIGHTING Thorn Lighting has introduced the new Novaline Style. As well as being wall or ceiling mounted, this aesthetically appealing luminaire can be suspended from ceilings with an elegant rod or a wire suspension pendant. Delivering efficient lighting where needed, Novaline Style has an IP54 water splash-resistance so it can even be used outdoors in covered walkways.
Office, education, healthcare, retail, hospitality and residential – just some of the applications that Novaline Style is a perfect fit for. Easy to optimise, Novaline Style’s functionality can be increased, taking it from a simple switchable range to a fully adaptable one with wireless controls. Integrated wireless communication allows for Bluetooth control and commissioning. Novaline Style is also available with an emergency lighting mode via a self-contained or central battery (DALI versions only), delivering up to three hours of emergency lighting.
Following the acquisition of Facilicom UK by Kingdom Services Group in 2021, Peter will oversee the cleaning division of the company, with the goal of making its services more personalised and
efficient. His initial aim is to support clients as they ease back into the office environment, by ensuring his high-performing teams create safe and inspiring workspaces.
Peter’s position as Managing Director commenced on 1st February 2022, following the departure of Jan-Hein Hemke, who had led Kingdom Cleaning (and formerly Facilicom UK) for over 17-years.
