Leeds' Axiologik makes senior hires to meet growing AI demand

AXIOLOGIK EXPANDS AI PRACTICE WITH SENIOR HIRES TO MEET GROWING CLIENT DEMAND Appointment of Andy Roberts and Tim Lewis comes as more organisations turn to the UK IT Services Company of the Year to move their AI investments from pilot into production. 
 
Axiologik, the B Corp certified engineering and delivery consultancy, has expanded its AI practice to help organisations turn AI experiments into working systems that deliver a measurable return.
 
The expansion follows a sharp rise in demand over the past nine months, with the firm reporting an approximate tenfold increase in AI-related enquiries. It has responded with two senior appointments to its leadership team and a further 15 new AI-focused roles.
 
MIT research published in 2025 found that 95% of generative AI pilots never reach production. Nearly a year on, organisations are telling Axiologik that the barriers it identified are the ones they are still wrestling with: the practical work of deployment, from data readiness and legacy integration to governance.
 
The same gap is showing up across AI, not just generative tools. Axiologik’s expanded practice is built to close this, helping clients from banks to Government departments move past proof-of-concept to live, governed systems that deliver measurable gains in efficiency, speed to market, cost control and compliance.
 

Andy Roberts, principal consultant at Axiologik, has spent 25 years building and growing globally recognised brands in consulting, technology, sports and media, and more recently has focused on making AI projects deliver commercial results. He says:

 

"The appetite for AI certainly isn’t a problem; execution is. Most organisations can run training or a pilot. Far fewer can turn that into transformation at scale, the complex, business-wide change that delivers a return. That's what Axiologik is built to do, and why I joined.”

 

Tim Lewis, principal consultant at Axiologik, was 2025 Prolific North Tech Leader of the Year. He has built complex technology and teams in sectors such as logistics, healthtech, and gaming. He adds:

 

"Clients don’t need more noise about AI; there is plenty of that about. They need help managing risk and building the data architecture and software foundations to make this work in practice. Doing that inside a B Corp that takes governance seriously is exactly the right place to do it properly.” 

Unlike consultancies that keep AI expertise in a separate innovation team, Axiologik has built the capability across its entire business, with 100% of its workforce AI-certified. The company engineers the data and automation foundations that make AI work, rather than just providing AI advisory services.
 

Today’s announcement follows the launch of AxioIntelligence, an evidence-based AI readiness assessment that gives executive teams a clear view of where AI will deliver a genuine return, and which governance foundations need to come first.

 
Axiologik holds a Best Companies 3-Star rating and is an AWS Partner. The expansion extends its capability in complex, secure, and regulated digital change across both the public and private sectors.
