Press & Awards: Hartz AI in the Spotlight
Hartz AI has earned recognition as a trusted UK AI consultancy through press coverage, industry awards and thought leadership. Craig Hartzel founded Hartz AI to help SMEs adopt AI responsibly, and that mission has drawn attention from business media and sector bodies.
Only 15% of UK businesses have adopted at least one AI technology (DSIT, 2024). Hartz AI exists to close that gap for the 99.9% of UK businesses classified as SMEs.
Hartz AI is a recognised UK AI consultancy with press coverage, industry awards and speaking engagements across multiple sectors. Our work with charities, education providers, professional services firms and retailers has earned recognition from industry bodies. We help UK SMEs adopt AI practically and responsibly.

The feature highlights how Hartz AI delivers practical AI consultancy across charities, faith organisations and grassroots sport — sectors where responsible adoption and cultural sensitivity are essential.

Our work with charities, schools, professional services firms and retailers has drawn attention from industry publications and business media. Craig Hartzel, our founder, regularly contributes expert commentary on AI adoption, governance and the challenges UK SMEs face when starting their AI journey.
We focus on the stories that matter: how a small charity saved 10 hours a week on admin, how a 30-person law firm built an AI policy from scratch, and how a regional estate agency used AI to streamline compliance. These are the real results that press coverage reflects.
Craig Hartzel has provided expert commentary on AI adoption trends, the UK AI regulatory landscape and practical AI governance for businesses with limited budgets. His perspective centres on what works for organisations with 10 to 250 staff - a segment that receives little attention from enterprise-focused consultancies.

What Awards and Recognition Has Hartz AI Earned?
Recognition from industry bodies and business awards validates the approach Hartz AI takes: practical, hands-on AI consultancy that puts your business first.
Industry Awards
Hartz AI has been recognised for our commitment to making AI accessible to UK SMEs. Our training programmes have delivered measurable results across multiple sectors, and our governance frameworks help organisations meet compliance requirements ahead of regulatory deadlines.
Community Contributions
Beyond commercial work, Hartz AI contributes to the broader AI community. We support charity digital transformation initiatives, provide pro bono AI readiness workshops for community organisations and contribute to open discussions about responsible AI adoption in the UK.
The UK ranks third globally for AI investment behind only the United States and China (OECD AI Policy Observatory, 2024). Within that landscape, Hartz AI focuses on the SME segment where practical guidance makes the greatest difference.
Why Does Recognition Matter When Choosing an AI Consultancy?
When you choose an AI consultancy, you want evidence of real results - not just promises. Recognition from industry bodies and the press gives you confidence that Hartz AI has a track record worth trusting.
Working with a recognised consultancy means you benefit from approaches tested and refined across multiple sectors. Our methods are not theoretical - they come from engagements with UK businesses across charities, education, professional services, retail and sport.
According to McKinsey's State of AI report, nearly two-thirds of organisations have not yet begun scaling AI across the enterprise - most are still in the experimentation or piloting phase (McKinsey, 2025). Working with an experienced consultancy helps you move beyond pilots and into real, measurable impact.
A consultancy that earns recognition does so by delivering results, not by spending on marketing. When you work with Hartz AI, you get the same methods and expertise that earned that recognition - applied directly to your business challenge. Ready to see how we can help?

Conference Appearances
Our team speaks on practical AI adoption, governance frameworks and sector-specific AI strategies at events ranging from local business forums to national industry conferences. The focus is always on actionable insights - not abstract theory.
Published Insights
