We have an in-house team of engineers holding TUV functional safety certifications, representing a combined process and machinery safety capability within a single lifecycle technology partner. For customers managing safety assessments, gap remediation or compliance programmes across complex plant, that means a genuinely integrated capability rather than multiple specialist engagements. Recently we congratulated two of our lead engineers, Andrew Stainton and Stephen Roberts, who have achieved Process Functional Safety Engineer certification with TUV SUD – further strengthening our team that continues to invest in recognised, independently verified expertise. If you are working through functional safety obligations such as HAZOP outcomes, SIL verification, safety instrumented system design or you’re in need of independent assessment, we would welcome a conversation. 

We're delighted to share that iconsys has achieved Achilles Information Limited Silver+ Accredited Supplier status. While accreditations don't always make the headlines, they matter. They demonstrate that we're committed to maintaining the high standards our customers expect across health & safety, quality, environmental management and responsible business practices. For our customers and partners, Silver+ status provides independent verification that iconsys meets rigorous assessment criteria and remains a trusted supplier within demanding industrial sectors. Continuous improvement is part of our culture, and this accreditation is another step forward in that journey. A big thank you to everyone involved in achieving this recognition.

🎉 Proud Finalists at the Shropshire Chamber of Commerce Business Awards 2026 While we didn't take home the trophy this year, we're incredibly proud to have been recognised as finalists in the Excellence in Manufacturing & Engineering Award category on Friday night. Having won the category last year, being shortlisted once again alongside some of the region's most successful and innovative organisations is an achievement in itself and a testament to the expertise, commitment and hard work of the entire iconsys team. The evening was a fantastic celebration of the innovation, resilience and success that exists across Shropshire's business community. Congratulations to all the winners and fellow finalists Aviramp, CEL Group, and particularly to Kraft Heinz on winning our category. Recognition is always appreciated, but awards don't define our success. Our focus remains firmly on helping customers solve complex operational challenges through automation, digitalisation and engineering excellence. Thank you to the Shropshire Chamber for hosting another excellent event, and to our customers, partners and colleagues for their continued trust and support. We're excited about what comes next.

𝐏𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 – We need your support! At iconsys, our employees voted 🚁 Midlands Air Ambulance Charity as our charity of the Year 2026, and it's easy to see why... Every day, their critical care teams respond to some of the region's most serious incidents, delivering advanced medical care when every second matters. Unlike many emergency services, Midlands Air Ambulance receives 𝐧𝐨 𝐠𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 for its daily operations and relies entirely on 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 to keep its helicopters flying and crews responding to those in urgent need. To help support this incredible work, our team is taking part in a 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧, collectively aiming to cycle 🚴110 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘 to raise vital funds for this amazing charity. Yesterday, we were delighted that MAAC Critical Care Paramedic George Duffin got involved and kicked off the fundraising effort at RAF Cosford. Teri Harding will join us today at the Technology Hub to help close off a great day of fundraising.  We're very proud to be supporting a charity that makes such a tangible difference to communities across the Midlands, and we'd be incredibly grateful if our customers, partners, suppliers, friends and followers could help us reach our fundraising target- 𝐖𝐄 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔! Every donation, no matter the size, helps Midlands Air Ambulance continue providing lifesaving care to those who need it most. 👉 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞: https://lnkd.in/eB6SJQ9E Thank you for helping us make every mile count 💛

We were delighted to welcome Elisabet Basford, Digital Lecturer and Program Lead T-Level Digital Software Development, from Telford College on 12th June for an Industry Day in IT, spending time with Luke Evans and Sean Rendell. Industry Days provide Tutors with valuable insight into the workplace, helping them understand how their teaching translates to the real-world to keep things fresh and relevant. They offer an opportunity to experience professional environments, learn about current technologies and industry practices and gain advice from experienced professionals. For iconsys, they are a great way to support the development of future talent, strengthen links with local education providers and showcase career opportunities within the sector. This is what Elisabet had to say about her day with us: “I had an amazing day with Iconsys. Luke and Sean are so knowledgeable and their tenacity and knowledge was really inspiring. Today reinforced that great solutions aren’t just built with technology, but with curiosity, problem-solving, and the confidence to take initiative. From understanding Power Apps to the importance of UAT, every step I was shown illustrated how thoughtful design and continuous learning drive real impact. I can't wait to share my knowledge with my students.” Thanks to Luke and Sean for hosting Elisabet.
