At Truly Lighting we’re very proud of being an independent lighting consultancy. Being independent makes us responsive, flexible and above all else, we are on the side of our client, not our board of directors.
We appreciate there can sometimes be an apprehension about working with independent companies, as we are inherently smaller teams. But this comes with a number of benefits. At Truly Lighting we have an agile network of expert lighting designers who we can call upon at any time, and bring into projects should we need additional resources. All of our partner designers have the same experience and ethos as our team, so you are guaranteed the same service.
By using freelance designers, we can flex our capacities up and down to meet the needs of any project, while still knowing we have the resources to deliver outstanding results. We can also keep our overheads down, which means our prices remain highly competitive, which is a clear benefit for our clients.
The adaptability of our team also transposes to our working patterns. We are flexible with our working hours, which means that we can mirror the needs of our clients, and always meet our deadlines.
Our owner and operator Christina Nicolaides is a working parent, who has embraced the movement towards work-life balance, which means she understands others around her including clients need this too. By bringing other freelance designers in at more demanding times. Christina can remain available to research, meet with clients, visit showrooms, and all of the other important elements of her job which are challenging if you are chained to your desk.
So when considering if an independent consultancy is right for your project, take a look at what is underneath the surface, not just at the headcount.
