Our story

When The Light Went On

The idea for Acrospire was formed in 2012 when founder Tim envisioned a different kind of lighting manufacturer: one that would not only deliver outstanding customer experiences but also prioritise fair treatment for its employees.

We’ve come a long way

Working from any nook and cranny we could find

Motivated by the belief the industry wanted and needed better, Tim shared his plan to establish his own venture with Hatty, who simply couldn't let him do it alone.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Protecting local jobs and ensuring the best quality possible.

The products sold should, where possible be manufactured here in the UK

Working from a rented office by day and assembling lanterns in a garage at night, Tim and Hatty set to work.

11 Years later

and a lot has changed

Acrospire now inhabits a 14000² ft manufacturing facility in Basingstoke, Hampshire. We’re a proud partner of the Made in Britain scheme, ISO9001 certified and a member of all relevant lighting industry trade bodies.

We've built a reputation to be proud of

Speed is key

Speed of response is crucial when it comes to resolving warranty issues. If we’ve made a mistake, we own it, get to the root cause, and fix it as quickly as possible. We believe in timely communication with our customers and making the resolution pro
