Celebration as major milestone reached by start-up company

A UK start-up is celebrating a major business milestone. IoT Horizon, based at the Science and Technology Facilities Council's (STFC) Daresbury Laboratory, has been acquired by Sustainable Investments Ltd. The acquisition has led to a rebranding of the company as Sustainable Smart Technologies. This marks a significant step forward in the company's mission to create safer, healthier, and more energy-efficient buildings. For more than seven years, the company has been at the forefront of developing environmental and energy monitoring solutions. Using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, the company has been creating systems that provide real-time insights to improve air quality, reduce energy consumption, optimise space utilisation, and enhance the wellbeing of building occupants. Paul Vernon, head of STFC's Daresbury Laboratory, said: "Sustainable Smart Technologies exemplifies the groundbreaking innovation that is thriving amongst the businesses located here at Daresbury Laboratory, and the wider Sci-Tech Daresbury campus. "Its work is playing a pivotal role in shaping our sustainable, energy-efficient buildings of the future, delivering tangible benefits to society." One of the new solutions developed by Sustainable Smart Technologies is a portable air quality monitoring system. This has already been instrumental in helping organisations understand and respond to the pressing need for healthier indoor environments. The company has been using the advanced research facilities and skills support available within the Campus Technology Hub at Daresbury Laboratory to develop and bring its cutting-edge environmental and energy monitoring solutions to the market more rapidly. The acquisition comes at an important time as people become more aware of the need for better air quality and healthier indoor environments. Deyrick Allen, founder of IoT Horizon and now commercial director of Sustainable Smart Technologies, said: "Being located at Daresbury Laboratory has allowed us to be part of an ecosystem beneficial to start-up companies. "Based in the CTH, we have the lab space to work hands on and test our products, having access to STFC resources, networking opportunities and the generation of leads beneficial for our commercial projects."
