CU Phosco is delighted to announce a new year-long sponsorship with Hertfordshire-grown professional golfer Ellen Hume, supporting her throughout the 2025 playing season as she continues her rise through the professional game.
As 2025 draws to a close, we’re reflecting on another remarkable year at CU Phosco, one defined by growth, innovation, and a shared commitment to the people and communities we serve. From product advancements and global partnerships to personal milestones and sustainability achievements, this year has reinforced who we are: a family-led business with a forward-looking mindset.
Fresh off an unforgettable evening at the HEA Awards 2025, where CU Phosco secured three major honours, we met with Sales and Marketing Director, Matt Murray, to hear his reflections on the wins and the team effort behind them.
The HEA Conference & Awards is one of the standout events in our calendar, and this year was no exception. We returned in 2025 with a huge sense of pride, taking home three major awards, a fitting reflection of the effort, dedication, and teamwork across the company.
From music festivals to sporting finals, mass participation events are an economic and cultural lifeline for cities. But in an increasingly digital world, they also place enormous strain on public infrastructure – particularly mobile networks.
Across the UK, there’s mounting pressure to upgrade underground infrastructure; lighting, power, broadband, and EV charging all require greater capacity, yet this expansion collides with an already congested network of roads, utilities, and public spaces. Digging new trenches in these environments risks traffic chaos, community disruption, and high reinstatement costs.
With Christmas just weeks away, streets across the UK are beginning to sparkle. But beyond the festive glow, many public spaces grow darker, emptier, and, for some, more intimidating.
As global temperatures rise and heatwaves become more frequent, outdoor infrastructure—including lighting—is being pushed to its limits. In regions where summer temperatures regularly soar to 40–50°C, the performance, durability, and safety of exterior lighting systems face unique challenges. Here's what you need to know.
From illuminating motorways and city streets to enhancing public safety and urban design, exterior lighting plays a vital role in modern infrastructure. Behind every lighting column, bracket, and luminaire is a team of skilled professionals in manufacturing—designing, building, and innovating the systems that keep our world visible and safe after dark.
The UK is racing to deliver the next generation of connectivity, but the journey isn’t straightforward. While demand for 5G coverage continues to soar, the infrastructure required to make it a reality is facing significant challenges.
In the world of exterior lighting, reliability isn’t optional—it’s essential. Whether illuminating motorways, parks, industrial estates, or residential streets, galvanised steel lighting columns offer unmatched performance, longevity, and peace of mind. These zinc-coated columns are engineered to thrive in the harshest outdoor environments, making them the smart choice for modern lighting infrastructure.
Outdoor spaces come alive at night when they’re lit properly. Whether it’s a park pathway, a residential walkway, or the entrance to a commercial development, good lighting makes people feel safe, welcome, and confident about where they’re going. One of the most effective — and stylish — ways to achieve this is through bollard lighting.
