Jonathan Pearce, who is a Director of Oxford Diffraction, and worked on the deal for TTP Ventures said “Oxford Diffraction has made excellent progress since our initial investment. The success of their products, which are the most innovative and cost effective in the market, have helped propel the company into profitability. The new funding will help the company build on this momentum”. Enterprise VCT plc is a Venture Capital Trust advised by Noble Fund Managers, the fund management arm of Noble Group.
