Byron Dixon OBE is the founder and CEO of the award-winning brand, Micro-Fresh® - an innovative technology used globally by manufacturers and retailers to protect and preserve the freshness of footwear, home textiles and clothing. 

Byron began his career as a lab technician, developing leather finishing products for ECCO in Denmark. He returned to the UK with extensive knowledge and a network in the footwear industry to launch Corium Solutions in 2001. 

In 2006, Byron created the winning formula of Micro-Fresh®, which prevents mould, bacteria, and viruses on products. This means products stay fresher for longer. Now, Micro-Fresh® technology is found in retailers such as John Lewis, Next and M&S. In recent years, Micro-Fresh® has also found its way into the residential, construction and home improvement markets with a product called Home-Fresh®, an invisible technology applied to walls helping prevent mould in buildings that are prone to mould and mildew. It has been scientifically proven by the HSE to stop mould from developing at the source.

In 2014, Byron completed the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Programme and went on to win many entrepreneurial awards as well as for the company. Most recently, Byron has named amongst the UK's top 50 most ambitious business leaders in 2022 by the LDC.
