Solar powered lighting has experienced a boom in popularity over the past few years, and it’s not difficult to see why. The energy source is free, with no need for external wires and power outlets. It is easy to install, immune to power cuts, and environmentally friendly. With the trend for outdoor living on the increase in the UK, families are realising the importance of keeping gardens well lit so they can enjoy their outdoor spaces well into the evening.
One of the UK’s leading importers and distributors of value for money goods, Kingfisher (Bonnington Plastics Ltd) are leading the way in the garden, leisure and homeware industries, and garden lighting forms an important sector of their core ranges.
According to Sales Director, Sergio Tartaglia, despite “variations in trade pattern” over the past 3 years, Kingfisher reported record sales in the period October 2013 – July 2014, with sales up 65% on the same period of the previous year.
A major factor of Kingfisher’s continued growth is spotting rising trends and continuous research into what consumers want. After much research and months of development, the Kingfisher family have spotted the demand for novelty garden lighting, and is soon to launch a brand new range of solar lights.
Known as the World Icons range, this exclusive collection of registered designs is spearheaded by seven British symbolic icons. Included in the designs are a traditional British telephone box, a red post box, clock tower, double decker bus, British taxi, and an impressive lighthouse. Unique to Kingfisher you won’t find these designs anywhere else, and the development team is already working on similar designs featuring symbols from all over the World.
Sergio says “Solar lighting is becoming one of our strongest ranges, offering a wide variety of decorative and novelty designs at much lower prices than our competitors. This new range offers customers something exciting and brand new and I am proud Kingfisher are the first in the UK to offer this unique solar World Icon range”
This new quirky selection of solar lights will allow consumers to bring a tiny piece of Britain to their garden, and complements the existing Kingfisher collection of outdoor lighting, which, as well as a charming array of novelty lighting, also includes Victorian style lamps and functional security lights.
Customers old and new are invited to come along to the Nottingham Showroom to sample not only these new products, but over 2500 product lines. Special offers and promotions will be offered to all visitors, as well as event only special deals. Appointments can be made by emailing ruth@bonningtonplastics.com, or by visiting the Bonnington Plastics Website at www.bonningtonplastics.com.
