There’s a growing awareness of the damage we’re doing — and this is reflected in increasingly tight legislation. Faced with ever greater economic as well […]
A year ago, Fonroche Lighting set up a new subsidiary in Africa. After Senegal on the continent’s west coast, we now have a second base of operations in the Kenyan capital Nairobi. In both locations, the objective is the same — help us be more responsive and forge better, closer relations with customers and prospects […]

And with solar, installation is quick, taking less than two hours for each unit! At Fonroche Lighting, we offer an installation support service together with a skills transfer programme. […]

At Fonroche, we’re keen to establish a local presence close to our lighting projects. After our recent interview with Ken in Kenya (no pun intended…), we’d like to tell you about our new subsidiary in Senegal.
