For Immediate Release

McGEOCH LIGHTS UP NEW QUEEN ELIZABETH CLASS AIRCRAFT CARRIERS

Based on two major contracts secured earlier this year and valued in excess of £3M, McGeoch Technology Limited will supply all the general and emergency lighting for the new Queen Elizabeth (QE) Class Aircraft Carriers including the distribution panels necessary to power and control the lighting. In all, over 24,000 individual units for general illumination below deck and in cabins, corridors, compartments and hangars together with around 500 lighting distribution panels will be supplied by McGeoch in a six-year delivery programme beginning in January 2010.

All the lights will be backed up by battery powered emergency units also supplied by McGeoch. Whilst based on the already highly successful and proven design of the Type 45 Destroyer lighting which McGeoch pioneered and is also supplying in a rolling delivery programme, te design of the distribution panels has been specifically developed by the company and is unique to the new aircraft carriers.

McGeoch Technology has long been synonymous with high quality marine electrical systems and based on a legacy of over 150 years, the company continues to build its reputation for quality, reliability and value-for-money total service. From its headquarters in central Birmingham, the company offers a total solutions package with prototype and test, supply chain and manufacture and integrated logistical support forming a vital part of day-to-day operations, all backed by a team of highly qualified design engineers, widely experienced in all aspects of both mechanical and electrical applications.

The award of the QE Class contracts will considerably help sustain growth of the company’s manufacturing operations and also provide a significant added degree of security for its Midlands workforce.
