Turtle Medical wins Best Community Impact at BizX 2026

Saving lives through innovation:

BizX 2026 Best Community Impact Award sponsored by Rev PR 

 

 

Rugby, Daventry and Northampton-based medical firm claims national award for community impact. 

East Midlands-based Turtle Medical has been awarded Best Community Impact at the prestigious BizX 2026, recognising the company’s outstanding commitment to combining commercial success with meaningful, life-saving community initiatives.

Now in its 15th year, delivered by ActionCOACH, held at ICC Wales and hosted by broadcasting legend Kirsty Gallacher, the BizX awards are a highlight of the UK business calendar – celebrating organisations leading with clarity, purpose and results.
 
Turtle Medical secured the award for demonstrating exactly what Best Community Impact represents: profit and purpose working hand in hand.
 
Beyond manufacturing life-saving emergency medical equipment, Turtle Medical has led groundbreaking initiatives to improve public safety across the UK. The company funded and built the country’s first national bleed kit mapping platform, Bleed Map, helping transform public bleed control into a coordinated and accessible safety network.
 
Through the deployment of more than 12,000 bleed control kits, over £50,000 donated to community and charity initiatives and the delivery of free public training, Turtle Medical was noted by the judges for creating measurable, real-world impact.
 
Also standing out was how the business has gone beyond traditional corporate responsibility to build a nationwide safety infrastructure.
 
For Mike Dowson, founder of Turtle Medical, being recognised on a national level is an amazing achievement but also brings home the importance of the work they do. “This one means a lot to us! From day one, Turtle Medical has never just been about selling products – it’s about making sure people have the tools, knowledge and confidence to save lives in those crucial moments.
 
“To be successful at BizX, alongside so many incredible businesses, is something we’re hugely proud of. It’s also a testament to the communities, partners and first responders we work with every day – this award belongs to them as much as it does to us.”
 
Julie Wagstaff, Managing Director of ActionCOACH UK, added, “The scale of what the team at Turtle Medical has achieved – from thousands of kits in communities to real-life emergency use – is incredibly powerful. Huge congratulations to Mike and the entire team; they should be very proud of the impact they’re having across the UK.”

 

Plans are already well underway for BizX 2027 in Farnborough, promising an even greater event for celebrating business excellence. Click here to get your tickets before they sell out!
