Roke Manor Research, based in Romsey, conducts electronics research in  a number of fields, including imaging technology, and is owned by Siemens who are involved in medical imaging and diagnostic equipment research, design and manufacture worldwide. When Roke heard that employee Bob Dalgleish’s daughter had Fanconi Anaemia, not only did the company make this significant donation to the charity, but members of staff also made a personal donation to Louise to pay for a trip to Disneyland Paris last summer.
