I feel privileged just to have met Lou Bedocs after his move to Spennymoor from Enfield in the 1990s' and then later to work with him was simply a gift, of professionalism in lighting (always!), mentoring in terms of helping you to see how to be better in everything you do, a friend whenever needed and naturally after Sir Jules, he was Mr. Thorn Lighting. I will take the life learning from Lou for the rest of my days.
