Medtech Firm Earns National Health and Safety Distinction


Afon Technology has won a prestigious health and safety award.

The Peninsula Health and Safety Gold Award recognises Afon Technology’s exceptional commitment to health and safety standards, placing the company amongst the first in the UK to achieve this high honour.

The Monmouthshire-based company is committed to developing the world’s first non-invasive blood glucose monitoring device, which is tipped to transform the lives of those with diabetes. Glucowear™ is Afon Technology’s pain-free continuous blood glucose monitor that is set to make life easier for people with diabetes by removing the need for needles when monitoring blood sugar levels.

Presented by Peninsula, a respected authority in health and safety consultancy, the Gold Award underscores Afon Technology’s dedication to creating a safe and healthy workplace for its employees.

Justin Thomas, Health and Safety Advisor at Peninsula Business Services, said:

“I had the privilege of auditing Afon Technology in South Wales, and as a result I was pleased to be able to apply for them to be one of the first recipients of the relaunched Pensinsula Gold Awards for Excellence in Health and Safety.

“A massive well done to Maddie and the team at Afon Technology for putting health and safety at the heart of their business.”

Sabih Chaudhry, Afon Technology’s CEO, said:

“We are incredibly proud to receive this recognition from Peninsula. This is all thanks to our amazing health and safety officer Maddie Wilson.

“This award reflects Afon Technology’s continuous efforts to uphold the highest standards in health and safety, ensuring a secure environment for our team while we develop cutting-edge health solutions.”

The Peninsula Health and Safety Gold Award is given to organisations that demonstrate exceptional excellence in health and safety management.

When notifying Afon Technology of their achievement, Peninsula wrote:

“This is a prestigious award, and you and Afon Technology are amongst the first companies in the UK to receive this award for excellence in health and safety, well done.”
