FluoRok

It's been a very busy year at FluoRok with the team expanding, closing a funding round and everyone tirelessly working to develop our ground-breaking technology towards safer & more sustainable fluorochemical manufacturing. So, it was time for a well-deserved break!     Thanks to a great event organised by FluoRok’s operations team Clare and 𝗜𝗺𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻 and hosted by 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗼 𝗞𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹. Team FluoRok relaxed away from work, enjoyed some fun cooking and shared a delicious feast together.   Thank you also to chef Ursula Ferrigno for sharing her passion for Italian cuisine!

Congratulations to FluoRok's co-founder Véronique Gouverneur who was recently presented The Royal Society's Davy medal for her contributions to the field of fluorine chemistry. This award, named after Humphry Davy FRS, the chemist and inventor of the Davy Lamp, was first given in 1877 and is made to those who make an outstanding contribution to chemistry. Véronique is pictured here receiving this much deserved honour from Professor Sheila Rowan of The Royal Society's Council.   Well done to Véronique for her passion and commitment in pushing the boundaries of fluorine chemistry to tackle big and unsolved real-world problems and continue to be an inspiration for all of us here at FluoRok. #fluorinerevolution

Thanks Innovate UK and Make UK for this great opportunity to connect with some of the UK's leading manufacturers. Francesco Ibba, Process Development Lead enjoyed pitching FluoRok's ground breaking-technology which will provide access to value-added fluorochemicals via a safe and environmentally-friendly process, completely bypassing the production of HF and decreasing energy requirements. This will deliver a range of benefits for various industries including pharma, agrochemical and the battery sector and will significantly accelerate their path to net-zero.
