We're delighted to be recognised in Cravenhill Publishing's Communicate Magazine Digital Impact Awards 2026 for our work with the Comisiwn Democratiaeth a Ffiniau Cymru on the Welsh Elections Information Platform.

With Wales introducing its most significant electoral reforms in decades, we worked closely with the Commission and our Welsh language partners at Ateb to design and deliver a fully bilingual digital service, helping voters across Wales access clear, trusted and accessible election information.

Launched ahead of the May 2026 Senedd elections, vote.wales | bwrwpleidlais.cymru brings together everything voters need to understand the electoral process, find their polling station and make informed decisions.

It's a project we're incredibly proud of, demonstrating how thoughtful digital design and technology can make a real difference to democratic participation. We're thrilled to be shortlisted and look forward to the awards!

We rolled up our sleeves and headed along to the givebloodscotland pop up in Leith. With thousands of donations needed across Scotland every week, we’re proud of our team for supporting this essential service ❤️

Did you know that Storm employees receive two volunteering days each year to support charities and community organisations?
Recently, our Client Partner and Operations teams used some of that time volunteering with Fresh Start, an Edinburgh charity supporting people moving on from homelessness. The teams spent an afternoon sorting donations, learning more about the charity's work, and gaining insight into the important role community support plays in helping people establish a stable and comfortable home environment.
As part of the initiative, the Storm office also hosted a donation collection point, with staff contributing a fantastic range of household items to support Fresh Start's work.
A huge thank you to Jen and the team at Fresh Start for such a warm welcome, and for sharing more about the impact they make across Edinburgh. We look forward to continuing our partnership 💙🏡

Last week, we swapped screens for sea views as the Storm team headed to Tyninghame Beach for our Summer Day Out ☀️
As one of the highlights of our annual calendar, the Summer Day Out gives us the opportunity to catch up with colleagues, welcome new faces, and spend quality time together outside of projects.
This year was extra special celebrating Storm ID's 25th anniversary, reflecting on everything we've achieved together and looking ahead to what's next.
A huge thank you to everyone who came along and helped make it such a brilliant day. Here's to 25 years of Storm, the people who make it what it is, and everything still to come 🙌

We’re pleased to share that Storm ID will continue working with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) for a further two years.

Since 2022, we’ve supported the department across Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Azure and data services, helping maintain and improve the systems that support its operational and reporting needs.

The renewed agreement covers Microsoft 365 development, data engineering and managed support, extending a partnership built over four years.

Our Managing Director, Linsey Lydon, shares more on the work ahead.

Complex forms shouldn’t create complex experiences.

Using our Dynamic Forms platform, we helped the Scottish Public Pensions agency bring its NHS Deferred Pension Retirement Form online, creating a secure, guided journey that helps members submit the right information while supporting the team’s existing operational processes.

The project also gave SPPA’s digital team the tools and confidence to build more online services in the future.

Scotland's public sector data now has a new home.

On 25 August, data.gov.scot launched, the result of a multi-year partnership between The Scottish Government's Open Data Team and Storm ID. It replaces statistics.gov.scot with a service built on something simple but easy to get wrong: research.

Our Discovery work showed that users didn't want more features. They wanted to know what data existed, whether it was current, and what it meant, without having to decode technical structures to get there. That insight shaped every decision from Alpha through to Beta: how information is organised, how people move through the service, how complex data gets presented clearly.

We also designed for the other half of the ecosystem: the publishers who add and maintain the data. A joined-up service only works if it's easy to use on both sides.

At launch, data.gov.scot carries datasets from 14 public sector organisations, including National Records of Scotland, NatureScot, Public Health Scotland, Social Security Scotland and the Care Inspectorate.

Beta means the listening continues.

AI adoption doesn’t start with technology. It starts with knowing where AI can genuinely make a difference, and where it can’t. That was the challenge Scottish Forestry set us.

Working across teams spanning operational delivery, grants, regulation, GIS, corporate services and digital, we helped Scottish Forestry identify the strongest opportunities for AI, test them against the realities of its data and technology estate, and turn them into a practical, prioritised roadmap.

The result was Scottish Forestry’s first AI roadmap, including a prioritised backlog of AI use cases assessed for value and feasibility; technical assessment of the routes to implementation; recommendations covering governance, workforce capability and data readiness; and a sequenced delivery plan with clear measures of success

What we particularly liked about this work is that it wasn’t an exercise in finding places to 'add AI'. It was about combining staff insight, organisational priorities and technical reality to work out where AI is actually worth pursuing, and creating a responsible route from ideas to implementation.

We’re proud to have been named as a supplier on G-Cloud 15, with services available across software, infrastructure software and cloud support.

This is an important milestone as we continue to scale across the UK. As a growing SME, G-Cloud continues to give us a clear route to bring our specialist digital, data, AI and cloud capabilities to more public sector organisations - while helping government departments and other public bodies increase their engagement with SMEs and access a broader, more diverse supplier market.

That SME opportunity is significant. Around 90% of suppliers on G-Cloud 15 are SMEs, and the framework is valued at approximately £14 billion over four years, with an estimated £3 billion of public sector cloud spend each year.

It means organisations across central and local government, health, education, blue light services and the wider public sector have a straightforward, compliant route to work with Storm ID as we build on our strong track record in Scotland and expand our work across the UK.

Our Managing Director, Linsey Lydon, shares more on what G-Cloud 15 means for Storm ID, SMEs and public sector buyers:

25 years ago today, on 1 August 2001, Storm ID came into being.

We started with little more than ambition, ideas and a shared belief that digital technology could be used to make things better. From those early beginnings, we’ve grown into a business with a great deal to be proud of, thanks to our amazing team, brilliant clients and the vision of our co-founders, Jonathan Joyce, Paul McGinness, Craig Turpie and Simon Wall.

Over those 25 years, digital technology has transformed beyond recognition. Data has become central to almost everything, and AI is opening possibilities we could scarcely have imagined when we began.

But some things haven’t changed. We still love doing good work. We still believe technology should make a meaningful difference, not just for organisations, but for people and society. And we still bring the same curiosity, care and ambition to every challenge.

To everyone who has been part of the Storm journey - as a colleague, client, partner or friend - thank you. You’ve helped make Storm what it is today.
We’re immensely proud of where we’ve come from and excited about where we’re going. After 25 years, we believe our best work still lies ahead.

Here’s to the next chapter. 🎉
