The innovative monitoring technology reduces the risk of Legionella by ensuring temperature in water or refrigeration units is at an optimum level to protect health. The GUARDIAN® product is helping care homes and social housing providers to identify and reduce the risk to tenants from the water born disease, Legionella.

The investment from the Finance Durham Fund will enable Plexus to grow its team, accelerate the development of its next generation products and boost the market penetration of its GUARDIAN® technology.

“Plexus Innovation has developed an innovative proprietary product that addresses legislative issues, pushing the entire sector into the 21st Century.

We look forward to supporting the management team grow the business.”
