The first is that our group sales operation <i><b>"Thorlux LLC"</b></i> had reached its' first anniversary and a general review was required to assess the highs and lows of our first year with 2 x <b><i>"FWThorpe PLC"</i> </b>Directors travelling to glean first hand a view of local operations.<br />
The second was to launch the recently Kitemarked Philip Payne automatic Emergency Lighting monitoring and test system - <b>SPECTOWEB.</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KMoSGpmp3io/VjnH65KrUFI/AAAAAAAAAZk/id6rZ-h4uEE/s1600/P1000508.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KMoSGpmp3io/VjnH65KrUFI/AAAAAAAAAZk/id6rZ-h4uEE/s320/P1000508.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
As previously an event for local specifiers was organised and a presentation delivered featuring the workings of <b>SPECTOWEB</b> and its' compliance benefits to the local UAE fire and safety code. Attendees were given a copy of the new UAE brochure showcasing the products that have Civil Defence Approval across the region.<br />

<br />
As one of the main sponsors Philip Payne were delighted with the attendance and positive feedback from the industry conference held in London on 23.04.15.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q7lCcqVhUhU/VT3klq502-I/AAAAAAAAAZE/yJpynIhpu90/s1600/ELC.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-q7lCcqVhUhU/VT3klq502-I/AAAAAAAAAZE/yJpynIhpu90/s1600/ELC.JPG" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Delegates from the building design fraternity sat alongside end users with a common goal of further understanding the challenges that immerse emergency lighting compliance.<br />
These ranged from the non negotiable statutory requirements to the obstacles faced when trying to ensure the aesthetics of a designed area are not compromised by Em Lighting.<br />
Philip Payne remain market leaders when it comes to the latter - see <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/philip-payne/sets/">https://www.flickr.com/photos/philip-payne/sets/ </a> for shots of some of our project work including The Walkie Taklie , The Gherkin , The Shard , Shakespeare's Globe , Wembley Stadium , Royal Ascot and many other iconic London and UK landmarks . <br />

The F. W.Thorpe Group (of which Payne is a subsidiary) launched Thorlux Lighting LLC in the summer of 2014 to promote all of it's brands in the region. Working with "the LLC "and with local CDA partner Cignetix , Payne are confident they can maintain the impressive start they have made since the launch.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Current approved products include a range of BSI kitemarked Exit Signs and Emergency Luminaires and it is hoped that their full automatic test system , SPECTOWEB , will be launched in the region later in 2015.</div>

On the back of a CIBSE/SLL CPD Emergency Lighting evening and a specific brand launch event Philip Payne announced it's arrival as a compliant emergency lighting player in the complex UAE market.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Following civil defense approval, Payne invited guests to two back to back evening events; one purely educational in local Emergency lighting requirements under the UAE code of Practice and the second a more relaxed introduction to the ethos of the company as being design friendly but technically competent and compliant.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Both events were well received and the launch also took to the road, delivering presentations to the likes of Atkins and WSP in their local offices the region .</div>

As other exhibitors stands were plunged into darkness, the emergency lighting on display switched over to battery and sanity at least,on the Payne stand, was restored.<br />

The Classic Cylinder model has been modified to ensure that the cantilever fitting does not encroach onto the corridor. A polished brass finish was selected but further supplies will be finished in RAL9010 and Old Penny Bronze dependant on location <br />

<br />
The previous web-view of the catalogue was at best a bit clunky and at worst just too damned small to read some of the detail..<br />
<br />
Working with our partners Method Design a completely new approach has been taken with a button on the homepage linking through to video, contents page with links and a grid view making navigation mind bendingly simple.<br />
<br />
Individual pages can be printed or collated to print a custom selection and with options to share by email or social media the new style brochure provides brilliant opportunities for specifiers to communicate discuss or embed specifications into design documents.

<br />
<ul>
<li>If there was any doubt that Philip Payne products represent
the best in Emergency Lighting look no further that the contribution of retail
sales in May’s sales figures despite the gloomy picture we hear reported on TV
and in the papers.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Payne has long been the “emergency” choice in top end retail
fit outs particularly in Bond Street and the surrounding areas.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Last month Payne
products were supplied to Hugo Boss outlets in Glasgow and Reading , Dolce
& Gabbana ,Jimmy Choo in Dover
Street W1 and Selfridges in Manchester .</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>During May further specifications were welcomed on the books for retail
and mall projects across the UK</li>

<br />
After recently completing some great work in the region it was decided to ensure continuing success by underpinning local compliance with the Kitemark with which of course comes the iconic BSI symbol.<br />
<br />
Specifiers from the UK and USA continue to call for Payne product on their most prestigious Mid-East projects and the Kitemark will enable their specifications to be carried through with impunity.<br />

When NIKE needed the best exit lighting available for their flagship Old Trafford Megastore, there was only one name on the team sheet. With a pedigree record and low operating costs, the TYKE and SPRITE combination from Philip Payne was irresistible.<br />
<br />
The TYKE and SPRITE emergency lighting units are sympathetically designed and comply fully with all current regulation. Philip Payne is noted for supplying the right emergency lighting signage and equipment for a wide variety of demands, and these two units are a valuable and stylish addition to the Old Trafford Megastore.<br />
<br />
Made in Britain, designed in Britain, used in a wide variety of venues, the TYKE and SPRITE are a proven combination. With an LED driver and battery pack, the high power LEDs provide exemplary emergency lighting with full DALI functionality and a variety of modes including a test mode for routine safety testing.<br />
<br />
Philip Payne are responsible for the emergency exit lighting and signage in a wide variety of hotels, theatres, retail outlets and businesses across the country for a very good reason. They are professional, reliable, robust and up to date with all current BS legislation.<br />
<br />
It’s why Philip Payne is proud to call itself the Architects Choice.<br />

<br />
Even though the lighting design was established in the UK, Payne have worked directly with local installers on each of the Italian projects who have benefited from the simplicity of installation the product offers.<br />

Similar in prestige to other Payne Projects such as the Royal Automobile and Army and Navy Clubs in Pall Mall, the environment at The Arts Club demands that attention be paid to all services that are installed onto such a significant and beautiful building. Usage as an entertainment venue means that on site Emergency lighting must be serviced, tested, maintained and results recorded in order to comply with current regulations - <b>SPECTO </b>significantly simplifies this for the Club.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KkQAgGL0eg8/TXkBW72z7NI/AAAAAAAAAQk/4jfDDI64gh8/s1600/arts_club.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KkQAgGL0eg8/TXkBW72z7NI/AAAAAAAAAQk/4jfDDI64gh8/s1600/arts_club.jpg" /></a></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Experience of many listed building projects ensures compromises are not required to meet modern demands, as any Payne product can always be customised or surface finished to compliment surroundings and, as a result, many specifying architects and designers have unofficially become members of the “Philip Payne Users Club”.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
