Now that's what you call a well-equipped service van from the team at Commercial Auto Electrics - Kent LTD

This Ford Transit Custom makes great use of Whelen warning lighting supplied by Woodway – combining a fully loaded Whelen Edge lightbar with the new VXE lighting to deliver high visibility without overcomplicating the vehicle setup.

The lightheads have been programmed to offer five different functions:

- Amber warning flash
- Red warning flash
- Stop lights
- Indicators
- Side light

The VXE range is particularly well suited to builds like this. Compact, versatile, and capable of handling multiple functions from a single unit, helping reduce lamp count while still delivering excellent visibility and functionality across the vehicle.

Up top, the fully loaded Whelen Edge lightbar adds even more capability – including amber warning, rear reds, alley lighting and front worklight functions – creating a seriously capable setup for a hard-working service vehicle.

Today is World Environment Day, and it felt like a good opportunity to appreciate the place we're lucky enough to call our workplace.

Woodway is based in the Warwickshire countryside, surrounded by over 100 acres of farmland, woodland, ponds, and open green space. It's where many of us spend our lunch breaks, where wildlife is often visible from our desks, and where colleagues can be found picking home-grown produce to take home at the end of the day.

But it's not just about where we work. It's also about how we work.

From recycling initiatives and packaging reuse, to supporting local charities, encouraging cycling to work, and making practical decisions that help reduce waste, there are lots of small things happening across the business that contribute to the bigger picture.

Some serious firepower from the team at Angloco.

These ARFF appliances, built for airport fire and rescue operations, are a great example of the specialist vehicles operating within the fire sector – designed to perform in demanding environments where reliability and visibility matter.

Always good to see projects like these out in the field and ready for the job they were built to do.

A Night Owl leaving Woodway isn’t the end of the journey – far from it.

Every mast system we build is fully soak tested before leaving our facility, backed by warranty, and supported by a team who’ve been working with these systems for decades.

And while the Night Owl has built a reputation for reliability, operational equipment works hard – which is why we continue to support customers with diagnostics and repairs long after installation.

In fact, we regularly see Night Owl systems still operating out in the field after 10, 15, even 20+ years of service.

Whether it’s routine maintenance, troubleshooting, or helping keep fleet downtime to an absolute minimum, supporting customers for the long haul has always been a key part of what Night Owl is about.

Es**rt vehicles operate in environments where visibility is everything.

Whether managing rolling roadblocks, supporting abnormal loads and oversized transport, or protecting other road users around difficult manoeuvres, these vehicles need warning lighting that’s impossible to miss and reliable enough to perform in all conditions.

From compact beacons and directional lighting through to full amber warning setups, we work with fleets and vehicle builders across the es**rt sector to supply solutions designed for long hours, tough environments, and constant roadside exposure.

Because in this line of work, being clearly seen isn’t just important – it’s the job.

Always good to see the team from DCS Logistics Abnormal Load Es**rt Service here at Woodway... if only just to sneak a photo or five whilst they're busy talking business!

I-ONestly think these lightheads are one of the most versatile products in the Whelen range😅

This setup from Trek Group makes great use of the Whelen ION lightheads around the perimeter of the vehicle. They’re compact, powerful, and easy to integrate cleanly across all kinds of applications – and keeping this building looking smart all round.

Right then – that’s us clocked off for the Bank Holiday weekend!

But while the Woodway team are off enjoying (another!) long weekend, you needn’t worry – our brand new website is very much open for business.

After months of work behind the scenes, the new Woodway website is now live – giving customers access to an improved online experience, easier product browsing, and online ordering 24/7.

So whether you’re on shift this weekend, planning ahead for the next project, or just having a nosy whilst everyone else argues over who burnt the BBQ sausages, here’s the link:

We’ll be back in the office from 8am on Tuesday – see you then!

Motorsport response vehicles operate in an environment unlike almost any other emergency setting.

High speeds. Split-second decisions. Multiple moving vehicles. Live incident scenes.

Ahead of the current BTCC season, the TOCA Safety Team introduced a complete refit of emergency lighting across its fleet - working with Frontline Fleet to create a more coordinated, visible, and operationally effective response setup.

Using Whelen Liberty II lightbars integrated through Whelen’s Core®, the fleet now benefits from synchronised warning patterns designed to reduce visual chaos and create a clearer response environment during incidents.

We’ve taken a closer look at the thinking behind the project, the role of coordinated emergency lighting in motorsport, and why visibility matters so much in high-speed response environments.

As we’re gearing up for another busy events season – we’ve found ourselves looking back at some of last year’s exhibitions and spotted a few glorious show vehicles along the way.

This police dog unit from Victory Conversions was one worth revisiting.

Clean, purposeful, and topped off with a Whelen Justice lightbar – a seriously good-looking setup for a working vehicle that needs to balance visibility with practicality day in, day out.

One of the many advantages of designing and building products here in the UK is the ability to tailor them to the way our customers actually work.

This Night Owl, heading back into service with Leicester Police, has been configured with an additional, wireless handset – allowing scene lighting to be controlled from up to 60 metres away from the vehicle.

For specialist applications like collision investigation, that extra flexibility can make a real difference on scene.

Not every Night Owl needs it. Not every customer wants it. But designing systems that are able to adapt to suit specific operational requirements is a big part of our how we’ve continuously developed our Night Owl range over several decades.
