Congratulations to Rob Broad, who this year celebrates 15 years service at Lucideon!  “I had been in accountancy roles in other companies and had just completed an assignment in Poland at a new Financial Shared Service Centre (FSSC). I was introduced to Lucideon by an HR Director who I had worked with before, but who had joined Lucideon. I met Tony Kinsella a couple of times before joining and the rest is history as they say.”      Rob joined the Finance team initially, before becoming Group Financial Controller within a few months. That role expanded as the company grew and developed new financial controls and revenue streams. Four years ago, Rob accepted a new challenge in Group Administration, moving from Finance and into Operations.      “I still spend a lot of time creating spreadsheets and analysing figures, but I am now embedded in the delivery operations of the group - this has given me much more focus on how we support clients in the most effective way.”    One of Rob’s most significant achievements came recently during our relocation from Stoke to Stone Business Park – beginning with him hand-delivering the newly signed site documents to lawyers in Liverpool early one winter morning.  “The complex process of developing the site has delivered an exceptional lab environment with office and meeting spaces. The new site is excellent for our operations and I am very proud of how we went from quite a blank canvas to a modern and competitive science facility.”  

Lucideon is a signatory to these recommendations, advocating for the implementation of ten key priorities to leverage the UK’s competitive strengths and maximise clean industry’s ability to achieve emissions reductions while driving economic growth and securing jobs. With the endorsement of organisations across industry, academia, and civil society, the document outlines short- and long-term priorities for the growth of clean industries in the UK, from steel and cement to vehicle and electronic manufacturing. Together they produce 14% of UK emissions and must decarbonise to reduce their climate impact, while retaining their competitiveness to seize the opportunity of growing green markets.

Commonly used sweeteners Xylitol and Erythritol are currently undergoing scrutiny due to potential health-related concerns among consumers. Although studies into the health effects of these sugar alcohols are incomplete, it may become necessary for manufacturers to look to find appropriate substitute ingredients for their products whilst minimising impact on subjective consumer response.
