About Jim Lawrence Lighting & Home

Written by the company

About us

We are a British manufacturer designing and manufacturing luxury lighting and homeware in the English countryside. Visit our showrooms in Bath and Suffolk.

Gorgeous lights and accessories are the lifeblood of our business and understanding how they can change the mood of your interior lies at the heart of what we do. Beautiful, well-made lighting and fittings are truly transformative and we are passionate about sharing our products and ideas with you.

We are great believers in British manufacturing and are proud of our heritage in engineering and ironwork. Anything we don't make ourselves, we source from British manufacturers wherever possible because we believe in supporting UK companies and it makes good business sense. By selling directly to our customers and prioritising UK industry, we can ensure our products meet our exacting quality control standards and keep control over the supply and demand.

To this end, all our products are designed, assembled and hand finished in-house, using traditional techniques that have been passed down through the generations. In our workshops we employ a wide array of processes - laser cutting, spinning, welding, blacksmithing, antiquing, beeswaxing, polishing and painting, as well as making shades, curtains and blinds.

Thanks to our recent acquisition of artisan glassmakers - Suffolk Glass - we can also now include glass blowing and pressing to our list of skills.

From farming roots

Over the past 20 years Jim Lawrence has worked very hard to build up a reputation for making classic, high quality products using traditional, handcrafted techniques.

The story of Jim Lawrence began in 1994 at his Suffolk farm. Jim was busy rearing pigs and cows but it was clear that stock farming on such a small scale was not going to be profitable and Jim needed to find something else to do.

He decided to set up a forge in one of the farm buildings and experimented by making specialist pieces for friends and neighbours. From this modest beginning, Jim began producing a small range of candlesticks and chandeliers and selling them at fairs and markets.

He then moved on to gates, railings and curtain poles and from the reaction of his customers' he realised there was a demand for stylish, designer quality fixtures and fittings for the home, made with natural materials.

Following the company's first substantial order making park fencing for a local farmer, Jim was able to expand, refurbishing the farm buildings and employing more people in order to start selling by mail order. When a customer asked if his candlesticks could be made electric, the lighting side of the business began and now accounts for 60-70% of the company's sales.

Today we employ a skilled team of 150 engineers, welders, painters, seamstresses, designers, lampshade makers and technicians, alongside a full cohort of support staff. We have come a long way since our farm days, and you may no longer have to bump down a country track to find us, but our ethos remains the same: to provide beautiful, individually hand finished products, and deliver the highest possible level of customer service.

LIAQA assured 

Jim Lawrence is proud to be a member of the Lighting Industry Association Quality Assurance Scheme (LIAQA), meaning that we have achieved recognition by the UK’s leading lighting trade association that both we as a company – and our lighting products - conform to the highest standards in quality and safety.

The wall lights are bespoke.

The wall lights are bespoke and just what we were looking for. Very good quality and lovely shades.
Their customer service was excellent. I initially had a problem with the delivery but that was the fault of the carrier.,Jim Lawrence quickly resolved the issue. Very happy with the products.

Good service & quality products fairly priced

Good experience & know how in Pimlico Rd shop helped me shortlist wall lights. Order process was straight forward & the price differential for the fabric we chose was thankfully minimal. Shades arrived within a week vs 'up to 4 weeks' I'd expected.

We have yet to have lights installed but are hopeful they'll be a success

I love Jim Lawrence lights

I love Jim Lawrence lights. I’ve been renovating my home and have bought quite a few lights from here now and the quality and service is brilliant. I recently purchased Bonham x 2 for my hallway and they are truly lovely, well crafted, elegant. I also find the customer service to be really good here. Very quick to answer, very efficient. So refreshing - 10/10 recommend.

The answer might appear contradictory

The answer might appear contradictory, because the goods have been sent twice, but not delivered.
DPD has lost 🙄 both parcels and don’t have a trustworthy word of explanation.
However, Jim Lawrence and their customer care representative, Jane, have been superb, faultless.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for your patience throughout. We completely understand how disappointing it has been to have two parcels lost in transit, and share your frustration with the lack of clear answers from the courier.

That said, we’re very grateful for your kind words about our customer care team, especially Jane, and will be sure to pass your comments on to her. Providing the best possible support when things go wrong is incredibly important to us, and we truly appreciate your understanding and continued support.

One of our brass front door bolts broke - although it had been 8 years since the original purchase, Jim Lawrence repaired the bolt and returned it at their own expense. This is why we buy so many of their products - beautiful items and excellent customer service!

I bought the Derby Spot lamps and various pendant lamp shades 10 years ago and they still look as good as new. I would highly recommend this company. The service and quality of the products is excellent.
