**Summary**
Light Science Technologies Holdings plc (AIM: LST) announced on August 26, 2025, that it has secured two new contracts worth approximately £0.45 million in its Passive Fire Protection (PFP) division. These contracts involve remediation projects for a hotel in Manchester and a school building in Birmingham, operated by a multinational chain and a leading UK construction company, respectively. The projects highlight the company’s cost-effective and minimally disruptive solutions for fire safety compliance, addressing a growing, legislation-backed market opportunity.
The company anticipates further growth in the PFP division due to increasing demand from both new and existing clients, as well as reforms to building safety regulations aimed at accelerating remediation and new builds. LSTH is in active discussions with potential customers and expects to secure additional contracts soon, particularly for larger projects.
CEO Simon Deacon expressed confidence in the division’s momentum, noting progress in converting its £24 million pipeline despite previous delays caused by regulatory bottlenecks. The company’s innovative Injectaclad fire-resistant system positions it as a leader in the UK’s passive fire protection market, valued at up to £50 billion.
LSTH operates across three divisions—PFP, AgTech, and Contract Electronics Manufacturing—focusing on solutions for global challenges like food security, climate change, and fire safety. The AgTech division offers advanced technologies for sustainable agriculture, while the CEM division specializes in high-quality electronic products for diverse sectors.
This announcement underscores LSTH’s strategic growth in a critical, government-supported sector, with potential for significant expansion as regulatory reforms streamline project approvals.
