Aire Logic

Employee-owned health tech and data engineering consultancy

airelogic.comFounded 2007
Aire Logic is a Leeds-founded, employee-owned technology consultancy that works primarily with NHS trusts, life sciences organisations and government bodies. Founded in 2007, they deliver software development, data engineering, agile DevOps and enterprise architecture services. Their sister company, Aire Innovate, produces digital health products for primary, secondary and community care. They certified as a B Corp in September 2024.

What they do

Aire Logic builds and delivers digital systems for healthcare. Their core work sits across four service areas: agile software delivery and DevOps, data and analytics, enterprise architecture and IT strategy, and product development through their sister company Aire Innovate.

The consultancy has spent nearly two decades working with NHS organisations at national, regional and local level. Their team introduced agile software development at scale to national NHS systems and delivered electronic health record (EHR) projects including work at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester. In 2024 they secured a two-year contract renewal with The Christie, where they are supporting an openEHR-based data programme aimed at advancing cancer research.

On the data side, their engineers have worked across healthcare, policing, machine learning, supply chains and image processing. A named employee, Marc, describes learning SQL and Python on the job as part of the analytics and data science practice — the two languages that appear in staff accounts of day-to-day work.

Aire Innovate, the product arm, offers a low-code platform used to digitise clinical documentation and workflows at the point of care. One deployment at an unnamed trust saw nursing documentation moved to digital at the point of care, with Paul Roll, Head of Product Delivery & Integration, noting it released clinician time back into patient care. Another product, forms4health, has been used for digital pre-operative assessment at Leeds Teaching Hospitals, allowing the trust to move away from face-to-face assessment for almost all patients — a change described by Dr Alwyn Kotze, Consultant Anaesthetist, as improving patient experience, process efficiency and clinical quality.

Beyond NHS acute care, Aire Logic has worked with Leeds City Council on data during Covid-19, holds a place on the Leeds City Council Augmentation Framework, and was appointed alongside Hippo and Kainos in September 2025 to support NHS expansion of digital vaccination services. They also sit on the G-Cloud 14 framework and the Digital Health Advisory Framework.

The company has offices in central Leeds and Manchester. Hybrid working is standard; remote arrangements are discussed per project.

What sets them apart

Aire Logic became employee-owned in May 2022. There are described as having few management layers, with all staff having a stake in the business and a say in decisions. The company applies a three-part filter to new work: is it meaningful and beneficial to the public, will it motivate staff, and will it support further research and development. They say they will turn down work that does not meet those criteria.

In September 2024 they certified as a B Corp, joining a community of businesses assessed on social and environmental performance. They have invested in a shared solar park, run a circular computing programme for hardware, and publish a carbon reduction plan. Staff receive £250 a year to donate to a charity of their choice.

On the skills pipeline, Aire Logic has partnered with Generation UK to make IT jobs more accessible and works with the Ahead Partnership on the digital skills gap. They have also taken part in Growing Talent Digital Leeds events and run mentoring programmes internally.

Testimonials on the site name specific clinicians and project leads: Dr Louise Savic, a Consultant Anaesthetist and NIHR Doctoral Fellow, describes a database project for patients with life-threatening drug allergies during surgery; Gavin Cleary, Director of Medical Education and Consultant Paediatric Rheumatologist, cites a digital CHAQ tool that transformed the value of clinical consultations. These are not generic endorsements — they point to a consultancy that works closely with clinical staff on domain-specific problems rather than delivering generic software projects.
