NEIL LANDMANN
Neil has 20+ years experience in the lighting industry, 16 years with Light-U, which he founded in 2007. Before Light-U Neil worked with 2 of the world’s best-known Italian lighting manufacturers Reggiani Lighting and Artemide Lighting. Before this Neil worked in Electrical Wholesale and a fixing system manufacturer selling fixing systems to the building services industry.
Back in 2018 Neil and his son Josh completed a Tough Mudder event in Grantham, nothing too unusual about that I hear you say. However Josh did it in his wheelchair with help of Neil and it has to be said so many of the other participants on the day. This video has been rolled on on every fathers day since, so you may have seen it!
In 2014 Josh suffered a spinal cord injury following a swimming pool accident while on Holiday in Ibiza and this was just one event Josh had aspirations to complete on his road to recovery. Following this event a video of them completing the ‘Everest obstacle' went viral with several TV appearances following, which culminated in an invitation to appear on the Ellen Show in Los Angeles which was aired in the UK in January 2019.
Josh is now in full time training and has been on the British Paratriathlon programme competing internationally for the past 3 years and is working hard towards representing GB at the Paris Paralympics next year 2024. If you want to know more about his story there are a number of interviews with him on Youtube.
As you can imagine funding this kind of journey is not cheap with general living and travel expenses let alone the specialist equipment needed costing upwards of £20k. This is why Neil does what he does and if you ‘d like to help support developing UK athletic talent please get in touch.
