Light Science Technologies (AIM:LST) CEO Simon Deacon joined Proactive’s Stephen Gunnion to discuss strong early performance from the Injectaclad acquisition and growing opportunities across its passive fire protection business, having secured orders and projects worth between £1.28 million and £1.66 million since the April deal. Deacon said order volumes have exceeded expectations, with integration progressing well and giving the company earlier visibility of projects to strengthen its pipeline. Owning both the product and installation capability lets Light Science engage with projects at the grassroots level, helping convert opportunities more effectively. He pointed to significant demand across the market, with more than 40,000 buildings requiring fire safety remediation across hotels, commercial buildings and social housing. Beyond fire protection, Deacon highlighted momentum in AgTech, including a completed Nottingham Trent University project and another now underway, plus over 14 new clients won in the contract electronics business. “We’re really … starting to scale up, and I can see for years to come. We’ve not even broken the surface yet,” Deacon said, pointing to a quoted pipeline exceeding £50 million, with more than £20 million tied to passive fire protection.
