Mrs Ashby said: "We love films so from a personal point of view it was very exciting to see our lights on screen."After setting up her family business, Ashby Lighting, in South Derbyshire about 10 years ago, there is now a small team that restores vintage lights, as well as manufacturing their own.Mrs Ashby added: "We have supplied other film companies such as Warner Brothers, so the set designers might have spoken to each other and possibly recommended us to the Wicked team.
"We use other local businesses to help us create our lights and I am very proud of being a part of the Derby business community.Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande play as witches Elphaba and Glinda in the film
