As part of its long-term commitment to sustainability, british JLGroup, comprised of JLLive & JLLighting, has relocated to new premises at Verda Park in Wallingford, South Oxfordshire, a brand-new commercial development with modern sustainability features.

According to the company, JLGroup’s move was fuelled in part by Verda Park’s environmentally friendly features, which include being carbon neutral, having an A+ EPC rating and being Breeam rated ‘excellent’.

As technical suppliers to the TV and events industries, JLGroup deliver experiences for businesses who are seeking to partner with businesses who takes a serious approach to reducing their impact on the environment and community.

Jack Linaker, managing director of JLGroup, says: “From the outset we have been committed to running a business which delivers impact on experience whilst not impacting on the environment and this move is part of us putting our money where our mouth is.“

JLGroup takes sustainability seriously, according to Linaker, and has won a number of new clients as a direct result, including being selected as the technical supplier to Renewables UK flagship show in October 2021 and again in June 2022, and delivering for the likes of GSK, Ocado and a number of clients at COP26 in November 2021.

It is committed to achieving the highest environmental standards where possible. It is ESSA accredited in sustainability and partners with beMatrix the sustainable modular frame system for set builds, exhibitions and trade shows.

As part of its wider commitment to sustainability, JLGroup focuses on renewables and innovation to deliver conference and exhibition sets and stands that are not single use. The business uses low energy LED lighting and technical designs to create sets that maximise the quality of the lighting without simply increasingly the quantity. Video walls are also re-usable, as are all the graphics.
