Peter McVeigh, Chairman and Managing Director
I am very proud that Status International (UK) Limited is still a family run business and we were delighted to have been trading for over 30 years.
The success of the business is testimony to all involved who are committed to producing high quality lighting and electrical accessory products for all our customers.
Our dedication to quality is further enforced by our long standing partnership with the Trading Standards Institute having been the ‘Main Sponsor’ for over 25 years of their Annual Conference.
This reinforces our commitment to delivering quality and safety and raises awareness of maintaining high standards across our industry.
I strongly support the policy that business and professional bodies can work together for mutual benefit. To emphasise this policy Status is a very active member of the Lighting Industry Association (LIA), represented on the LIA Technical Committee and LIA Council of Management, assisting in setting standards.
Status is a Corporate Member of the Chartered Trading Standards Institute and proud of this fact.
Looking forward, we are focused on continuing this growth and investing in our people and research and development. In 2011, we introduced an in-house design studio. This has opened up new avenues for us so that we can now do our own reprographic work, take completely new design concepts through to final design stage and work on much larger scale projects than has been previously possible.
We are now arguably the largest independent light bulb and electrical accessory supplier in the UK and continue our journey to provide the highest quality to our customers, who are the most important people of all.
