SOCOTEC UK & Ireland partners with Mesothelioma UK
Wed 10/08/2025 - 09:57
TIC market leaders SOCOTEC UK & Ireland is continuing its support for Mesothelioma UK - the country's only charity solely dedicated to supporting people affected by mesothelioma.
SOCOTEC will become a gold partner of Mestothelioma UK, with the donation helping to ensure patients and families receive vital specialist care and support when they need it most.
The partnership demonstrates SOCOTEC's commitment to supporting individuals and their families impacted by mesothelioma, a devastating form of cancer that affects the mesothelium and which is predominantly caused by exposure to asbestos fibres.
With over 2,700 people diagnosed with mesothelioma each year, the UK has the highest incident rate of the disease globally. Despite the scale of the disease, not all patients have access to the same level of care and support across the country.
Mesothelioma UK's mission is to provide specialist nurses offering expert care and guidance, experience-based research, care options availability, as well as access to high-quality, evidence-based information and support services.
We are very happy to be support a great charity in Mesothelioma UK. Our partnership is particularly meaningful given our connection – our Asbestos team works to identify and manage asbestos risks, while Mesothelioma UK supports those who have unfortunately been affected by asbestos exposure.
Matthew Marriott, CEO, SOCOTEC UK & Ireland
We're so pleased to be partnering with SOCOTEC who came on board very early and as a Gold Partner, too.
We’re grateful for their support and with the company's proven record in managing asbestos risk through surveys, air monitoring and awareness training, the partnership further strengthens Mesothelioma UK's resolve to eradicate the risk of asbestos exposure in various buildings for future generations.
Liz Darlison, Chief Executive, Mesothelioma UK
Through SOCOTEC’s sponsorship of Mesothelioma UK, the funds donated will help part-fund bespoke treatment and care, provided by specialist healthcare professionals.
SOCOTEC's commitment to corporate social responsibility is reinforced through the partnership with Mesothelioma UK, and demonstrates how critical it is to make a meaningful impact in supporting those impacted by occupational health risks within their industries.
