When Experience Matters
Anthony J Smith(Glos)Ltd was formed in 1976 and initially it was a general
electrical contracting company carrying out works in domestic, commercial and
industrial properties.
Anthonys first foray into Church lighting was when his
own Church, St Peters Catholic Parish Church in
Gloucester suffered an arson attack and as part of the
Fabric committee (he is now Chairman, and has been for
many years) he was invited to carry out lighting tests and
trials.
It was not the first time that Anthony experimented with
the effects of light as he remembers that as child, he used
to carry out similar experiments in the garden with a bare
lightbulb and a shiny reflector from an old two bar electric
heater.
