airelogic.com ↗Founded 2007
Aire Logic is a Leeds-founded, employee-owned technology consultancy specialising in digital health, data engineering and agile delivery. Founded in 2007, they work primarily with NHS trusts, life sciences organisations and government bodies. Their sister company, Aire Innovate, produces ready-made software products for primary, secondary and community care.

What they do

Aire Logic builds and delivers digital systems for healthcare and the public sector. Founded in 2007, they describe themselves as having over 30 years of collective experience on NHS projects — a figure that reflects the depth of their team rather than the company's own age. Their head office is in central Leeds, with a second office in Manchester.

The consultancy's work falls into three broad areas. First, technical consulting: enterprise architecture, IT strategy and a process they call 'EA Light', which is designed to get organisations to workable solutions quickly. Second, agile delivery and DevOps: they claim to have been the first team to introduce agile software development at scale to national NHS systems, including electronic health record (EHR) delivery. Third, data and analytics: their team has worked across healthcare, policing, machine learning, supply chains and image processing.

A recurring theme in their case studies is scale. They have migrated 60 million records without data loss, helped a national organisation manage 100,000 servers, and built a health data platform processing between two million and ten million records per day. They also delivered a national-scale API management platform and have worked on vaccine safety analysis and digital pre-operative assessments for Leeds Teaching Hospital.

Aire Innovate, their sister company, sits alongside the consultancy and offers low-code platform products for primary care, secondary care and community health services. One testimonial from Paul Roll, Head of Product Delivery & Integration, notes that the platform enabled digitisation of nursing documentation at the point of care. Another, from Dr Alwyn Kotze, a consultant anaesthetist, describes how the forms framework allowed a trust to move away from face-to-face pre-operative assessment for almost all patients.

Beyond healthcare, Aire Logic also works with financial services clients, applying lessons from NHS-scale data migrations and API management to banking and insurance contexts. They hold a place on the G-Cloud 14 framework and the Leeds City Council Augmentation Framework, and in 2024 secured a two-year contract renewal with The Christie NHS Foundation Trust.

In September 2025, Aire Logic was appointed alongside Hippo and Kainos to support the NHS expansion of digital vaccination services.

What sets them apart

Aire Logic became employee-owned in May 2022. That structure shapes how they select work: they apply a three-part test to every project — is it meaningful and beneficial to the public, will it motivate staff, and will it support the company's growth? They say they will turn down work that fails those criteria.

They are a certified B Corp, joining that community after the employee ownership transition. Their social value commitments include a partnership with Generation UK to improve access to IT careers, work with the Ahead Partnership on digital skills, and investment in the UK's first shared solar park. They also plant trees and use Circular Computing for hardware, which they describe as their greener IT approach.

The company runs an annual internal event called AireFest — described in a 2026 review as 'health tech without the sales pitch' — and a BarCamp for internal knowledge sharing. Staff receive 12 'Airetime' days per year for personal development, up to six months' full maternity pay, and two wellbeing days annually.

Their clinical credibility is notable. Testimonials come from a consultant anaesthetist and NIHR Doctoral Fellow building a drug allergy database, a paediatric rheumatologist at a children's hospital, and the Chief Information Officer of a cancer research centre. That mix of clinical and technical understanding is something they emphasise repeatedly across their site.
