UK: Alternative insulation developer Wull Technologies, a joint venture of Vector Labs and Wool Insulation Wales, has obtained €87,700 in prize money, after commercial director Ruth-Marie Mackrodt was named among 61 winners at Innovate UK’s 10th Women in Innovation Awards for 2025/26. The funding will go towards scale-up, independent testing and product demonstrations of Wull Technologies’ LAMDA brand sheep wool insulation panels over the coming 12 months.
The grant follows a €351,000 investment from the Greater Manchester Advance Fund and the University of Manchester Innovation Factory in 2025. Mackrodt co-founded Wool Insulation Wales in 2022.
