Luceco plc
Annual report and Website 2024
Our latest annual report project for Luceco, a fast-evolving supplier of wiring accessories, EV chargers, LED lighting, and portable power products, reflects a year of bold transformation and confident momentum. Following two major acquisitions – D-Line and CMD – the business has expanded and diversified its capabilities significantly.
Lyonsbennett was tasked to refresh the report accordingly – so we set to work benchmarking, researching and collecting ideas from the peer group and beyond. Our objective was to introduce the new acquisitions, while underlining Luceco’s existing identity built up over 70 years in the space.
To help shareholders navigate this growth story, we opened the report with a striking set of feature pages, rich with bold design and impactful imagery. These early spreads provide a clear, engaging overview of the group’s segments and brands, linked together by a timeline that highlights progress to date. Per the client’s brief, we were mindful to keep these pages light and accessible while echoing the structure of previous years.
We balanced visual flair with essential detail around the new acquisitions – including through the “strategy in action” case studies that bring the group’s growth strategy to life. Full-bleed photography maintains the drama of previous years, while a new ‘acquisition criteria’ mini-feature further reassured investors of strategic alignment.
We also spotlighted innovation in emerging markets, such as home energy management systems and commercial EV charging, reinforcing the group’s future-facing agenda.
To support accessibility for the skim reader, we introduced traffic light-style sustainability summaries across key pillars, and a new “Remuneration at a glance” feature, adding transparency and immediacy to the numbers.
The business delivered strong results in a tricky macro environment, so the tone of this year’s report hints at green shoots ahead. While we are all hoping for a ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ of interest rate eases and a calming of the recent volatility, this year’s design subtly evolves to match, with its glowing graphic device: bold, clear, and quietly confident.
