DR PATRICK MORTON
Managing Director
I'm as excited as our clients are at the developments that are taking place within Lucion and the way we're helping to lead the way in quality asbestos management.
Patrick was a co-founder of Lucion in 2002. After leaving school in Belfast, he studied at Leeds University before gaining extensive asbestos experience with an established North East of England consultancy. Since then he has overseen Lucion's growth and has been involved in the management of large-scale asbestos-related projects from initial tender to handover of final completion documentation. His prime responsibility is for the company's quality control aspects and the maintaining of UKAS Testing Laboratory and Inspection Body Accreditation. Although Lucion already has a genuine national presence in the asbestos management field, Patrick and his team are already looking to open up further bases around the UK.
CHARLES PICKLES
Financial Director
"Modern-day asbestos management is about gathering high quality data. The key to success is how that information is managed. That is our real strength"
When Charles co-founded Lucion with Patrick Morton he brought his analytical qualities to the partnership. Again like Patrick, he had honed his skills at various asbestos laboratories as an asbestos analyst and surveyor. He handled surveys and report production, bulk sample analysis, stack emissions and LEV monitoring, and asbestos project management advising on appropriate remedial actions and clearance testing. His Geography degree from Durham University and his MSc in Environmental Engineering from Newcastle laid the foundations for his meticulous approach to information management. He passionately believes in the accurate and efficient collecting of dynamic data and using it to find the right solutions through UKAS accreditation.
RUSSELL EXLEY
Commercial Manager
"Previous experience has taught me the value of a 'customer-focused' service. At Lucion that is at the core of everything we do"
Russell came on board in 2007 to bring his enthusiasm and expertise as an account mangement professional to Lucion's expanding operations. Helping to push the company to the next stage of development is an exciting challenge that Russell is relishing. In his new role as Commercial Manager, Russell can call on experience gained in a variety of roles with Georgia Pacific and JohnsonDiversey . A major lesson he has learned is the importance of promoting a "customer-centric" approach. He believes it is exactly what Lucion is particularly good at and that it is appreciated by the expanding client list that Russell and his team are dealing with today.
