MyCardium AI announced as overall winner of the 2025 Merseyside Independent Business Awards

The Guide Liverpool were delighted to be part of the incredible evening celebrating so many independent businesses across the city region. With Jay Hynd and Ellie Phillips on hosting duties.

Jay Hynd, The Guide Liverpool, said:

“We love supporting independent businesses and celebrating their success stories. As an independent business ourselves, we understand just how important these awards are in recognising the hard work, creativity, and resilience that drives our city region forward.”

The Merseyside Independent Business Awards (MIB Awards) founded by Morecrofts Solicitors, crowned MyCardium AI as the Overall Winner for 2025, recognising its pioneering work in medical imaging and AI-driven cardiac diagnostics.

The announcement was made at a glittering black-tie ceremony on Thursday 16 October at the Titanic Hotel Liverpool, attended by almost 500 guests from across the Liverpool City Region. The awards, now in their eleventh year, celebrate the diversity, innovation and resilience of the region’s thriving independent business community.

Founded in 2013 by Morecrofts to mark the firm’s 200th anniversary, the MIB Awards have become a cornerstone of the local business calendar. Each year, they shine a spotlight on the region’s most dynamic businesses.

Alison Lobb, Managing Partner of Morecrofts said:

“Each year, the MIB Awards uncover remarkable stories of business innovation, creativity and entrepreneurial determination. This year’s finalists reflect that spirit, and MyCardium AI is a perfect example – using cutting-edge technology to make a tangible difference to people’s lives and to the future of healthcare. We are incredibly proud to recognise their achievement.”

This year’s headline sponsor was once again the Liverpool BID Company. CEO Bill Addy added:

“Independent businesses don’t just contribute to our economy – they define the spirit of our communities. The MIB Awards are a vital platform to celebrate and elevate those who are pushing boundaries, improving lives and setting new standards. MyCardium AI embodies that mission, and we congratulate them on a well-deserved win.”

MyCardium AI, winner of the Digital & Technology Business of the Year, uses proprietary end-to-end AI software to revolutionise cardiac imaging. Their “human in the loop” technology is trusted by clinicians to increase accuracy, reduce cost, and speed up the development of new treatments across the globe.

Winners were chosen from hundreds of entries, reviewed by independent judging panels made up of experts across various sectors. This year’s finalists represented a broad spectrum of industries – from health and wellbeing to retail, construction, tourism and professional services – reflecting the strength and resilience of Merseyside’s independent economy.
