MBE awarded to Addmaster founder

A UK-based entrepreneur helping to protect people through additives has been recognised in the Queen’s New Year’s Honours List.

Paul Morris, Founder of Addmaster, has been awarded an MBE for his firm’s services to export and championing the UK’s manufacturing capabilities to clients throughout the world.

Under his leadership, the company’s performance-enhancing additives are being used to give products and touch points greater hygienic protection against the spread of bacteria and viruses.

The last twelve months has been its most succesful yet as the impact of Covid-19 is making customers and their consumers more conscious about improved hygiene.

Morris said: “I am tremendously proud and honoured to win this award, but for me it is a real testament to the hard work and innovation of the team at Addmaster. What we’ve achieved from a standing start and being new boys in a complex sector has been phenomenal and we’ll use the MBE, alongside our third Queen’s Award, to grow our market share across the world.”

Its Biomaster technology has been in high demand and has been adopted by everyone from toy makers, paper producers, on shopping trolleys and the aviation sector to prevent bacteria/viruses growing on airport trays and aircraft interiors.

In a recent development, the technology has also completed extensive testing and has been found to be active on both porous and non-porous substrates against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19.

This means that Biomaster can give up to 99% protection in as little as two hours.
