Well done Barrie Wilde.

Honorary Fellowship of the Society is given not only in recognition of a significant contribution to the SLL, but also the wider lighting profession. The Society was delighted to present past president, Barrie Wilde with Honorary Fellowship. Barrie’s citation was written and delivered by President-Elect, Bob Bohannon. Bob provided an overview of Barrie’s impressive career, with notable projects including the groundbreaking Bentall Centre in Kingston upon Thames and the CAA’s major air traffic control centre at Swanick.  Bob also focused on Barrie’s ongoing contribution to lighting education and the profoundly positive influence that he has had on so many within the industry, using Barrie’s own mantra ‘I, E, D’;

“He inspired his students and team members, he engaged with pupils, colleagues and clients alike but, to truly help those students, in the nuance practice of lighting design, you need to direct them on the route to take.”
