History of R&S Robertson

Project Support

R&S Robertson’s extensive project portfolio, spanning both the UK and international locations, has equipped us with invaluable expertise in consulting on diverse lighting projects. We recognise that lighting solutions in hotel contracts must not only be robust to withstand rigorous use but also tailor-made to meet specific project demands.

Our collaborative partnerships with production facilities across Europe enable us to offer a wide spectrum of contract lighting styles, ranging from timeless traditional chandeliers to sleek and contemporary fittings. In essence, we are well-equipped to cater to a broad spectrum of projects, whether they prioritise cost-efficiency or design excellence.

Production

Designers are offered a choice between our adaptable standard lighting solutions, which can be customised with various finishes, or the option to collaborate with us in crafting entirely bespoke lighting pieces. For over 14 years, R&S Robertson has fostered a strong partnership with our primary manufacturing partner in Europe. This strategic alliance allows us to create custom contract lighting without the quantity and lead-time constraints often associated with production in the Far East.

Our dedicated team of consultants and in-house product development experts work in close harmony with specialised craftsmen to ensure that our lighting fixtures are not only visually appealing but also functionally exceptional, maintaining the highest standards of quality.

Moreover, every fixture undergoes quality control processes within the ISO9001 accredited manufacturing facility. We perform these checks again upon their arrival in Edinburgh before distributing them to projects, ensuring high quality craftsmanship and reliability. Our commitment to excellence is further underscored by our 24-hour call-off service, guaranteeing that your projects receive timely and impeccable lighting solutions.
