Halliday Lighting

What Halliday Lighting does

Halliday Lighting is a family-owned exterior lighting specialist founded in the UK in 1962, now operating internationally across the UK & Ireland, the Middle East (anchored by a Dubai regional headquarters opened in 2021), and Australia & New Zealand (via its wholly-owned subsidiary Halliday Lighting Australia Pty Ltd, established 2022). The company supplies, designs, installs, and maintains LED floodlighting systems and associated columns and high masts for sports facilities (soccer, rugby, hockey, tennis, golf), airports, ports, and industrial sites, operating as an approved partner of global lighting OEM SITECO since 2021 for the Middle East region.

Its core technology portfolio combines Halliday-branded luminaires (HH FK 1ND, HL AP 300) and SITECO product families (FL11/FL20 floodlights, SL21/SL31 streetlights, Sirius, Module 540, Bell, DL series, Highbay, tunnel lighting), supported by a proprietary smart field monitoring product called Intelligent Play that uses AI and machine learning on perimeter-mounted sensors to track usage and maintenance activity on sports fields. Services span the full project lifecycle — planning and design, groundworks and installation, and annual/ad hoc maintenance and servicing — with the company claiming over 200 new sports floodlighting projects per year and a collective team experience of more than 250 years.

The business model is predominantly project-based (turnkey installation) with a recurring managed-services layer from maintenance contracts. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific with multi-year contract cadence. Go-to-market is sales-led and tender-driven, targeting enterprise and mid-market buyers across sports clubs/facilities, educational institutions, airports, ports, and industrial sites, with channel support from regional installer networks in Australia and the SITECO partnership in the Middle East. The company remains privately held under the Halliday family (co-owners Derek and Gordon Halliday, alongside co-owner/CCO Alex Talton and third-generation Project Manager Greg Halliday), with no disclosed institutional investors or public-market listing.
