Coppy Laws  A gifted and innovative electronics engineer, Coppy was awarded for his development of naval radar and the ranging of ships’ guns during WW2. He was then recruited to head up the UK’s first industrial automation division fulfilling major contracts around the world, controlling oil refineries, steel and paper mills. At the age of 52 he set up a new company – Medion – to research the many health-related benefits of air-ions. He developed the world’s first portable, workplace and agricultural ionisers, and air-ion measuring instruments which became the choice of ion researchers around the world.

Julian Laws joined Coppy in 1979 to develop sales into indoor workplace environments. In 1988 he took over as CEO, running the company as a self-funding R&D unit. Working closely with WESTRA – the Workplace Environment Science and Technology Research Association – he designed a range of air processors – combined ionisers and air filters - to address instances of Sick Building Syndrome and optimise staff health and performance in numerous offices, call centres and control rooms. He ran successful hospital trials in conjunction with Leeds and Southampton Universities, and at the Cromwell Hospital, London.

Keith Laws teamed up with Julian in 2000. Since then, as an electronics engineer and product designer, he has developed personal ionisers for travel and office and a range of other handheld healthcare products. Following the emergence of Covid-19 he has been developing a wearable device to provide personal protection, using state-of-the-art technology.
