Wow—what a year 2024 has been for Answer Digital! As we reflect on the last 12 months, it’s impossible not to feel immense pride in everything we’ve achieved. From industry-defining projects to groundbreaking partnerships, milestone anniversaries, and well-deserved recognition, this has been a year like no other.

We kicked off the year with a bang and kept the momentum going, scooping up four prestigious awards along the way. Highlights include being named Best Tech Company of the Year and Best Place to Work at the Prolific North Awards. We also bagged the Professional Services Firm of the Year title at The Health Tech Awards and were honoured with the Judges’ Award for Cultural Excellence at the Northern Tech Awards. These accolades reflect not only our incredible work but also our people centred culture that makes Answer truly special.

Milestones, growth, and giving back

This year, we celebrated 25 years of Answer Digital, a quarter-century of solving complex problems with innovative tech. We also marked 10 years of our Academy, the UK’s first entry-level tech programme of its kind, which continues to nurture new talent. Speaking of talent, we welcomed 21 new hires, promoted 24 team members and partnered with Diverse and Equal (D=&) to host sessions for their pre-apprenticeship programme, championing diversity in tech.

Our commitment to fostering collaboration and thought leadership shone through as we hosted five of our own events and collaborated on countless more. Our Women In Tech team stole the show with three sell-out events, inspiring attendees and paving the way for even bigger things on the horizon in 2025. These events have solidified our reputation as a hub for innovation, connection, and meaningful conversations.

As part of our commitment to attracting and retaining talent, we launched our Employer Value Proposition and rolled out two new benefits to enhance our already comprehensive package. This year, we also completed numerous internal feedback sessions, ensuring we continue to provide the care and support our team needs to thrive. Our proactive approach to engaging with our people and audiences means we’re not just Leeds’ best-kept secret anymore!

Our commitment to wellbeing also shone brightly in 2024. We appointed two accredited Mental Health First Aiders and introduced an external Wellness Coach, ensuring our team feels supported, valued, and ready to thrive. Meanwhile, our focus on sustainability saw us achieve carbon neutrality, offsetting our entire footprint—a milestone we’re incredibly proud of.

But we didn’t stop there. This year, our team rallied together to raise an incredible £8,096 for Martin House Children’s Hospice, showcasing the heart and generosity that defines Answer Digital.

Partnerships, pipeline, and progress

On the business side, we expanded our reach and influence in exciting ways. We signed our first NHS customer in Wales, significantly grew the Interneuron sales pipeline, and explored new opportunities in mental health and independent hospital sectors. We also forged impactful partnerships with IMS MAXIMS, Founda, and RAIQC, laying the groundwork for future growth and innovation. With these developments, our market presence has never been stronger, and the future is looking brighter than ever.

Looking ahead with gratitude

2024 wasn’t just about hard work; it was also about celebration. Our sell-out #TheAnswerIsWomen events and our commitment to connecting with new audiences have ensured Answer Digital is making waves far beyond our home base. With more exciting events and collaborations lined up for 2025, the future is full of possibilities.

From awards to partnerships, anniversaries to promotions, 2024 has been a year of growth, achievement, and meaningful impact.
To everyone who’s been part of our journey—thank you.

Here’s to an even bigger and brighter 2025!
