- Rose Harding
Business Development Manager
Southwark CathedralWe were thrilled with LAPD - they were our partners for the 'Switched On London' Festival. Simon and Jonathan were our contacts - they were both '5-star professional' - excellent with the idiosyncratic nature of a Cathedral - a natural feel for good PR and marketing - we considered ourselves fortunate indeed and the Dean and our crew immediately 'bonded' with them. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
- Dr David Dimeloe
Managing Director
Mackwell Electronics LimitedWe have worked with LAPD on a number of projects, and always found them to be enthusiastic, innovative and capable. Our usual contacts are Simon and Phil and our design team has integrated very with them to generate some really exciting new products.
LAPD are professional and organised, and deliver what they promise. They have empowered us to move into new product areas that would have taken us considerably longer, without their support.
- Mark Law
Head of Engineering - TescoOver the last couple of years we have commissioned LAPD to carry out lighting proposals for our stores, we have been impressed by their professionalism, innovative designs and a good understanding of the clients requirements
- Alan Chisholm
Engineering Manager, Marks & Spencer plcOver the last five years LAPD have provided M&S with an outstanding lighting design consultancy service. They have designed over 200 of our stores with a new lighting design and over the years have continually updated the design.
We have been very impressed how they have developed the lighting to not only reduce costs of the product but significantly reduced our lighting loads by using there in house Product design service.
I cannot speak more highly of how Steven Dean has run his team and met all M&S demands.

Target Australia Pty. LtdWe thought we had given LAPD an impossible brief – a brighter store
with lower energy consumption.
The scheme they delivered ticked all the boxes, and compliments our
new store design perfectly
- Mike Spearing
Business Development Director, Hobbs Limited Whilst initially unsure of the benefits of using a lighting consultant LAPD have proved to be an indispensable member of the store design team.
In delivery of new concepts for both our Regent Street and Covent Garden flagship stores, LAPD have produced results that exceeded my expectations. The lit effect in both stores really complemented the new concept fit out and ensured that a fabulous environment was created.
The lighting designs achieved at both stores have embraced our vision and driven new lighting expectations for the future.
I would highly recommend LAPD as lighting consultants, they have opened our eyes to what is achievable.

Ian Simpson ArchitectsI have worked with LAPD on One Blackfriars Road (since 2005) and on the design of a penthouse apartment in the Manchester Beetham Tower. I enjoy working with Steve and his team and find them to be extremely responsive, highly creative and technologically well informed. I am happy to recommend them to clients and other collaborators.

Jestico+Whiles ArchitectsJestico+Whiles has been working with LAPD on a large hotel project in the UAE for the past one and a half years. In this particular project, LAPD has developed the lighting scheme for seven restaurants, several types of guestrooms and conference facilities. Based on our positive experience of working with the professionals at the firm, I would have no hesitation in recommending LAPD to potential clients or architectural teams requiring creative lighting consultants.
- Stanton Williams
ArchitectsWe have worked with Steven Dean for many years and have a great respect for his work, and more recently the work of LAPD. As a company LAPD questions, provokes thought and intuitively offers a light touch.
- Peter Wear
Managing Director
Woodhouse UK plc LAPD combines a clear understanding of the use of light in architecture with an equally good appreciation of the design mechanics of fixture construction.

From an interview in
The Sunday Times
November 12, 2006Look at the lighting [at M&S] - far better than it used to be.. The lighting is dramatically different - both on the ceilings and on the walls. And these cream tiles on the floor: they reflect the light and the spotlights warm the individual displays.
