Sophie Thornton, Head of HR at VINCI Energies said, “It has been proven that people with strong relationships around them enjoy better mental health.

Wink Lighting was recognised for its lighting design at Alexandra Bridge, Dublin Port.
International honours for Co Wicklow lighting firm
Bray’s Wink Lighting received an Honourable Mention at the international LIT Lighting Design Awards for 2022 for its dynamic lighting design at Alexandra Bridge, Dublin Port. LIT Design Awards honour the best in lighting product design and lighting design globally, advancing the appreciation of design worldwide. Working closely with Darmody Architecture, Wink’s design incorporated shield LEDs to ensure light pollution was kept to a minimum.
Alexandra Bridge has a distinct robust design and was highlighted using a wave of dappled luminaires. The luminaries are connected to a tidal sensor so at high tide, the lights sparkle brighter and inversely when the tide is low, the light levels dim. Four projectors with gobo shutters frame the structure without light spill onto the upper deck and road below. The underbelly of the bridge was lit using eight projectors installed between each truss for minimal disruption of clean lines seen on the bridge.
