Neil Fenwick, Brightlights General Manager said: “Since acquiring Brightlights in October 2011 we have been able to extend the service and further improve the excellent reputation in the industry which we are incredibly happy about.

“We decided to make the significant investment in expanding our product and service offering in order to keep up with demand and enable us to effectively compliment the other products within Eve’s portfolio.”

Brightlights products are aready used by a host of contractors including BAM Nuttall, The Volker Group and Balfour Beatty.
