We’re excited to announce that we’ve been named a Finalist in the British Data Awards 2025, with headline partner Data Literacy Academy!
The British Data Awards is an annual quest to discover and celebrate the UK’s data success stories. Organisations taking part this year range from FTSE 100 heavyweights, public sector innovators, technology unicorns, fast-growing scale-ups, critical Not-For-Profits, and everything in between.
A record 448 entries were received for the fifth edition of the British Data Awards which means that competition to be named a Finalist proved to be exceptionally strong, so we’re especially pleased to be announced as a Finalist.
Jason Johnson, Co-Founder of Predatech and British Data Awards judge said: “Judging so many excellent entries really is a huge challenge but also an enormous privilege. Every organisation named a Finalist this year should be exceptionally proud of this achievement. By sharing your data success stories with us, you’re also helping to showcase the strength and vibrancy of the UK’s data ecosystem, and I can’t wait to celebrate your achievements on the 14th of May.”
Oliver Bailey, Managing Director of Methods Analytics commented saying "We're really pleased to be finalists at this year's British Data Awards. At a time of great change and rapid evolution of data & AI technologies, this nomination recognises our team's consistent delivery of excellent, reliable, and inspiring consulting services to our clients."
The British Data Awards 2025 will announce Winners across some 29 categories and several Runner-Up awards will also be presented. This year the ‘Data Transformation of the Year’ category received the most entries.
Other categories include ‘Data Team of the Year’ and ‘Technology Company of the Year’, while new categories including ‘Data Partnership of the Year’ and ‘Generative AI Initiative of the Year’ were introduced to help showcase and celebrate the achievements of a diverse range of organisations and people.
