Customer service is the backbone of our business and it’s lifeblood is our ability to deliver correctly specified, competitively priced and certified products from stock.

To support increasing client demand we have now expanded and increased our stock levels of the SPARTAN range of Lighting for Hazardous Areas manufactured by Raytec – this enables us to satisfy emergency replacement, planned upgrade and project-scale orders from customers working in the explosive atmosphere industries.

We hold in stock an extensive range of standard and emergency light fittings certified according to ATEX to provide safe lighting in Zone 1/2 (Flammable Gas) and Zone 21/22 (Combustible Dust) explosive atmospheres.

Thorne & Derrick are your proactive problem solvers experienced in succession planning for the replacement of obsolete, non-conformant and legacy equipment in hazardous areas – this is underpinned by the day-to-day distribution of Equipment for Explosive Atmospheres to provide safe power, light, heat and ventilation.

We can specify and supply – our COMPEX Trained Sales Team are competent and conversant with ATEX Certification, DSEAR Compliance and the correct technical specification of products and equipment for installation in the hazardous area industries, from conventional oil/gas to biomass sectors.

Reducing Your Carbon Footprint By Several Sustainable Shoe Sizes

Businesses are proactively aligning their hazardous area lighting upgrade with sustainability strategies to reduce carbon emissions and support ambitious carbon neutrality targets agreed by the EU in 2019 – the upgrade and investment in LED lighting by businesses in pursuit of zero emissions status by 2050 has led to several multinational companies to accelerate the replacement of now retrograde fluorescent type lights with modern-technology light-emitting diode (LED) light fittings.

In the drive to go green the fading glow of traditional light fittings is fastly being replaced by the brilliant “White Light” illumination of energy efficient, modern technology light-emitting diode (LED) lighting systems.
