Made Tech

Last night, Met Office & Made Tech won Best Public Sector Project at the National Technology Awards for the Met Office app🏆 A really proud moment to be part of such a strong partnership and such a brilliant team effort over roughly the last year. I’ve had the privilege of Product Managing work across the app alongside an incredibly talented cross-functional team spanning Product, Design, Engineering, Delivery, User Research, Data, Science, Comms and Operations. What makes this especially meaningful is the scale and importance of the service. Millions of people across the UK rely on the Met Office app to help make decisions every single day, particularly during significant weather events. One of the things I’m most proud of is how we delivered it together: - Iterative private beta and public beta phases - Staged rollouts to safely learn and adapt - Continuous feedback loops with users - Evidence and data-driven decision making - Strong partnership between the Met Office and Made Tech - A constant focus on improving usability, trust and confidence in weather information, leveraging Met Office's authoritative voice Throughout the programme, the team consistently balanced innovation with responsibility, especially during periods of severe weather where resilience, reliability and public trust really matter. There’s still plenty more to come, but it was great to take a moment last night to reflect on everything the teams have achieved together. Huge congratulations to everybody involved. 👏 #NationalTechAwards #DigitalTransformation #PublicSectorTech #GovTech #MadeTech Lisa Martin Sarah Berks Daryl Edwards Mathew Gard Alison Wood Kirstine Dale James West Richard Major Matthew White Paul McManus Rachel Hutchinson
