Let’s Talk About Light: Expert, independent chairing of wellbeing & ESG event

Thought-leadership events for lighting specifiers
Our MD Joanna Watchman was invited to Chair Let’s Talk About Light – a brilliantly conceived series of though-leadership events – launched at London’s iconic Shard building
Hosted and organised by leading manufacturer Tamlite Lighting, Let’s Talk About Light was conceived as a high-value content platform aimed at lighting specifiers, designers and consultants.
Joanna’s role (she is a regular chair and panelist on ESG and healthy buildings themes) was to bring independence, authority and market insight to the panel discussions and Q&A sessions. She also worked with the speakers and panellists to structure their presentations for optimum impact.
Intelligently steering the dialogue on wellbeing, ESG and sustainability
With Joanna in the Chair, the speaker line-up reads like a ‘Who’s Who’ of the lighting world. Hoare Lea’s Ruth Kelly Waskett, Ridge & Partners’ Andrew Bissell FSLL MILP MCIBSE, lighting for wellbeing TedX speaker Dr Shelley James & Tamlite’s Eduardo Oliveira took to the stage to share their thoughts, environmental and sustainability issues, as well as human health and wellbeing. The feedback on the day (and Jo’s chairing skills!) was incredible.
Based on the success of this event, Joanna was asked to chair Tamlite’s second Let’s Talk About Light event in March 2023 – with keynote speaker, Architect & TV presenter George Clarke.

“It was a real thrill to see and hear the reactions from all concerned in the hours and days since – and your chairing across the day was a major factor in that. So very many thanks and very well done on an excellent day.”
– Colin Lawson, Head of Sales & Marketing, Tamlite Lighting
“Thank you so much – I really appreciate the time and effort you put in to help make this event so successful. Your insight and advice, as always, was fantastic!”
– Debbie-Sue Farrell, Wellbeing & Manager of Marketing, Tamlite Lighting
