Light & Coley switches off

Brand expression group Light & Coley has ceased trading after 19 years.

Director Martin Seymour attributes the failure to “a difficult year” and “one of our busiest retail clients going into receivership owing a substantial amount of money” just after Christmas.

The client, which he refuses to name, owed Light & Coley a sixfigure sum.

The four directors – creative directors Seymour and Brem Bremner and client services directors Alan Coley and David Jones – are “considering our futures”, Seymour says.
