The Lighting Options Team

I have been involved in lighting since 1998. I became passionate about lighting early in my career and, realizing that lighting would be a big part of my life, I acted on gaining the best possible knowledge and education while continuing to gain on the job experience.

I have experience in many aspects of the lighting industry, from warehousing through to senior management, specifically within the architectural specification sector and working in partnership with several internationally renowned brands.

As a co founder of Lighting Options Australia Pty Ltd, I manage the day-to-day operation of the company. I am highly motivated and focused on delivering the best possible solutions and service to our clients and ensuring the long-term success of the company.

I have worked in the Furniture commercial contract fit out business for over 28 years working with a major national furniture company as State Manager and National Manager.

In 2001 I started Furniture Options Pty Ltd to create a company that has become a major importer and manufacturer of commercial contract furniture. In 2007 we started The Chair and Table Warehouse Pty Ltd. This Company is also a direct wholesale furniture company based on low cost direct sell to the commercial contract business.

Over the years we have built up very strong relationship in many segments of our industry, from architects to designers to end user customers. The success of Lighting Options Australia is to continue to utilise the strong relationship that Ben with Furniture Options and The Chair and Table Warehouse has built up over the years. Combining Lighting Options Australia into one Design Centre that can promote their strong name brands successfully and with the quality and respect they deserve.

My primary focus is to provide the highest level of service possible, so my clients can be comfortable in the knowledge that they will be dealt with in an honest & reliable manner.

I have worked in the building and construction industry for 10 years and worked in the lighting industry for 6 years. In those 6 years I have become very passionate about lighting and it plays a big role in my life.
