Bath-based healthtech firm Mayden is celebrating multiple regional and national award wins ahead of its 25th anniversary next year.
The firm, which creates software systems that provide data driven insights and genuinely improve how services work, has won awards or been shortlisted as a finalist for outstanding contributions in the fields of innovation in healthtech solutions and organisational excellence.
Mayden has grown from a visionary start-up to a leader in the health tech space, now serving 20,000-plus users, helping them to deliver better outcomes for their patients.
It employs around 150 people and partners with healthcare providers across the UK, Australia, Canada and Ireland.
Mayden’s book Made Without Managers was highly commended at the Business Book of the Year Awards, coming runner-up in the ‘People, Culture and Management’ category.
The book is a passion project for the team at Mayden, pictured, documenting their journey away from traditional organisational structures to self management, empowering staff and fostering creativity and innovation.
Mayden was also highly commended for ‘Organisational Excellence – Best Place to Work’ category at the national UK IT Industry Awards.
The firm said this recognition, alongside larger corporations, underscored its innovative culture and dedication to fostering a positive work environment.
Similarly, the Culture Pioneers Awards recognise those who are shaping workplace culture and the future of work.
Mayden is a shortlisted finalist under the ‘Culture Pioneer Brand Award’.
The firm has also solidified its position as a leading emerging tech company, earning a Top 50 spot in the 2024 Megabuyte 100 awards.
This is the second year in a row that Mayden has been recognised as a Megabuyte Emerging Stars company.
Mayden director Fiona Dawson is shortlisted for 'IT Leader of the Year' at the Women in Tech Excellence Awards.
Celebrating female leadership in tech, these awards recognise the achievements of women who are breaking down barriers and making a significant impact.
Fiona, who lines up amongst female leaders from large and well-known companies, said: “My top tip for women looking to start a career in tech is to seek out those who inspire you, be curious and never forget: your impact in the tech industry matters and perhaps sooner than you might think.”
In the EntreConf Awards, which recognise the South West’s top entrepreneurs, Mayden topped both the ‘Employer’ and ‘Health and Wellbeing’ categories.
The judges praised the firm for a “highly thoughtful approach to management and team that’s eminently scalable. Visionary and exemplary”.
Mayden also won the 'innovation' title at the South West Business of the Year Awards, which celebrate companies that are pushing boundaries in their industry and are innovating, disrupting and thriving.
Mayden founder Chris May, pictured, said: “We're proud to have received widespread recognition for our innovative approach to culture and organisational excellence at a regional, national and international level.
“We aim to be innovative in everything we do, both through our ways of working and through providing software to support healthcare professionals in delivering mental healthcare to their patients.
“We continuously work on evolving our culture and living our values of transparency, forward thinking, collaboration and contribution.
“This contributes to our promise of innovation and organisational excellence and makes Mayden a place we all want to work."
Chris founded Mayden in the aftermath of the dotcom crash and with a mission to create digital technology that changes what is possible for clinicians and patients.
His belief is that healthcare could and should be constantly improving and that data and technology could help drive those improvements.
Mayden also runs iO Academy, training people with no coding experience to be industry-ready developers in just 16 weeks.
