Light Science Technologies CEO on expanding into healthcare market with CEM contract

from Proactive - Interviews for investors · host Proactive Investors

Light Science Technologies Holdings PLC (AIM:LST, FRA:9FD) CEO Simon Deacon tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion that the company has landed a healthcare contract worth more than £600,000 annually with an international blue-chip client — a significant step in its push into higher-margin markets. "We see healthcare, defence and medical as being the higher margin markets," Deacon says, outlining a deliberate shift away from customer concentration in pest control toward sectors that offer better returns and larger international partners. The contract electronics manufacturing division is also playing a broader role within the group, supporting AgTech product manufacturing and creating new opportunities following the Injectaclad acquisition — positioning Light Science as an increasingly integrated business rather than a collection of separate divisions. Watch the full interview to hear more about Light Science Technologies’ growth strategy, international opportunities and focus on improving margins across its divisions.
