Our Story

​​We concluded some years ago that existing types of air purifier simply don't work. So, we set out to create one which does.
​
After 15 years of research and development (and much expense!) we are incredibly excited to achieve our dream of bringing Airora's revolutionary technology to people and organisations worldwide.

​It’s been a really challenging journey! We knew from the beginning that Alan, the brilliant mind behind Airora, had invented something really special. In addition to the obvious and important application of the technology to controlling infection transmission, members of our family suffer from asthma, and we saw that this technology could bring much needed relief to people living with chronic allergies and breathing problems.
​
We are a small team, but determined to make a big difference!

​We appreciate your support, and encourage you to spread the word about Airora.

Thank you!
​
Lorraine, Gideon, Alan and Martin​
