00:16 Hi, I'm Mark Shortland, I'm the co-founder of Shoplight.

00:20 We're a retail lighting manufacturer and I'm delighted here today to celebrate our 10th anniversary

00:27 and at the same time open our new 3D printing and production facility here at Sight & Drive in Peterborough.

00:34 This is the place where we produce our biopolymer retail lighting products

00:39 that are made from sustainable, recyclable, renewable materials

00:43 that go into our products and can be put back through our system so they're truly circular.

00:49 This allows our clients to lower the environmental impact when building their stores

00:54 and also means that there's a much clearer route to sustainability

00:59 rather than using traditional, imported, virgin aluminium products.

01:03 We work with over 40 different retail brands, some global,

01:06 and certainly in a very short period of time we've got over 15 different retailers

01:12 who are now using 3D printed, UK made biopolymer products.

01:16 These include Skechers, Lululemon, Lego and a whole host of other really well-known, great British and international brands.
