Allight & Sykes Group
After 12 years as a combined entity, AllightSykes is now two separate companies – Allight Pty Ltd (mobile lighting towers and power generation) and Sykes Group Pty Ltd (pumps).
So, why the change?
Both companies are global leaders in their respective markets and the next steps to deliver the strategic plan most effectively is as two separate companies. This enables a greater focus on the individual strategies and operational needs. The increased focus will help the two independent companies achieve stronger growth and reach research and development goals sooner.
Allight and Sykes Group continue to operate under the same parent company, and whilst our business entity structure is changing, the same great people are here and will continue to work with you and your business.
The below FAQs should help answer any questions you have and, as always, our teams are available to assist you.
