International materials technology business Lucideon has made generous donations to our organisation, as part of a charity partnership with its director’s car club. Noor Ali (pictured) is the Chair of Classic Marques Sports Car Club (CMSCC), who have supported us through their last three seasons in memory of someone close to the team. He tells us more about his organisation and why you may be closer to their products than you think…

“Our ethos at Lucideon is to ‘make the world a materially better place’ and we do this by helping clients develop new ceramic, metallic, polymer, composite materials, and consumer formulations, as well providing production and QA support through our extensive laboratory facilities.

We are one of those companies that you've likely never heard of, but you will almost be guaranteed to have used or benefitted from products that we have developed or help develop for companies.

The nature of our work means it's very confidential, but if you have had a hip or knee replacement, if you have used shampoo or toothpaste, had a stent fitted, used some house bricks for a DIY project, or drank from a ceramic mug, then Lucideon is highly likely to have been involved.

We also do work in the nuclear power, defence and aerospace sectors, to help keep aircraft in the sky, develop the next generation of nuclear reactors and help ensure the future security of the UK and the US.

Lucideon has a strong set of values and one of the consistent messages from colleagues throughout the business is that we make a difference to the world around us in the work that we do. Our scientists are as excited about our projects as our customers are! Extending that to areas such as charitable donations reinforces those values and is greatly appreciated by our staff.

I am the Chair of Classic Marques Sports Car Club and a competitor in their championship, so it's important that I lead the way both through both personal donation and also by gaining support for an annual donation to the Classic Marques charity of choice. It's been a pleasure for Lucideon to support the work of the PHA UK over the last three years.”

We are hugely grateful to both Lucideon and Classic Marques Sports Car Club for their committed and kind support of our charity over the last few years.
