Black Light’s Chip Off the Old Block
Gavin Stewart, managing director of Edinburgh lighting specialist Black Light, is evidently planning for the company’s long-term future with his family. Evidence of this was provided in December when his daughter won an award for lighting design.
Robin Stewart won the award for her snowmen design, which was included in the Christmas illuminations for Dunbar, East Lothian. Proof of how far forward her Dad is looking is that Robin is aged just four-and-three-quarters!
“In truth, I was as surprised as anyone,” laughs a clearly chuffed Gavin. “But it’s fantastic to see that Robin is already aware of lighting and is looking at it with a critical eye.”
Gavin admits that it may be a few years before his daughter is in a position to succeed him as managing director, but he can’t help wondering if this is a sign of things to come.
“Of course it’s way to soon to wonder what she may end up doing and I would never ask her to do something she didn’t want to,” he says. “But if Robin does turn out to be a chip off the old block, it’s reassuring to know that Black Light will be in good hands for many years to come.”
