David Blockley is Chief Operating Officer at Cloudax. He brings thirty-five years in software, most of it spent founding companies, building the systems underneath them, and running the operations that turned them into businesses somebody wanted to buy. He has done it twice: two data companies founded, scaled and sold, both built on licensed data from the DVLA. He started in 1997 with The Internet Farm, later iFarm, a web development company whose first customer was Linn Products, the Scottish manufacturer of some of the finest hi-fi systems in the world. His team built Linn's website, its intranet, and later the user interfaces for its products, then an ecommerce music streaming site for its sister company Linn Records. Alongside that came SCOTEX, a stock-trading platform allowing privately-owned Scottish companies to trade their shares on the open market, and iManage, the first website content management system built by a Scottish company, which he used to win a run of websites for Scottish Enterprise. The work that pointed to everything after was Carwatch UK: combining DVLA vehicle data, ABI insurance data, Police (PITO) data and MIAFTR data into a customer-facing ecommerce site, backend systems, databases and hosting built to compete with HPI. In 2004 he founded Vehicle Data Services, obtained a licence from the DVLA for vehicle data, and combined it with data from the Association of British Insurers, the Finance and Leasing Association and the Police Information Technology Office to build a database of over thirty-six million records serving the automotive and insurance industries. It was sold to US company Auto Data Network. He did it again in 2006 with Advanced Checking Services, this time licensing driver data from the DVLA and building the systems to deliver electronic driving licence checks. Taking licence data direct from the source authority, with the driver's consent, removed the fraud risk inherent in paper-based checking and gave employers fast online access to their drivers' records. By the time of sale, the business was running over seventy thousand checks a year for more than five hundred customers including Stagecoach Bus, First Bus, FedEx and Greggs PLC. Advanced Checking Services was sold to GB Group PLC, where David stayed on for a year as Director of Strategy. Not everything worked, and he is direct about it. Integral Ecology, founded in 2013 to develop Exevia, an app and back-office system for accurately recording and reporting business mileage, never reached live launch. After two successful exits it taught him the lessons that only a failure teaches: fail fast, fail cheap, and secure customer commitment before you build. At Ingeniuus, the software and app development business he founded in 2018, he won an early contract with Glasgow City Council through CGI to deliver a Bluetooth beacon tourist trail application for the 150th anniversary of Glasgow architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. GoGlasgow launched on time and within budget with fifteen beacons installed across the city. He also supported Candidate ID, managing and overseeing their offshore development team ahead of their sale to global recruitment software company iCIMS. Most recently he was Head of Sales at Willo, the human-first candidate screening platform, taking it on a global journey with its sales and customer success teams. At Cloudax, David owns the operating side of an enterprise voice AI business: delivery, process, and the discipline that keeps thousands of enterprise calls a day running as they should. Few people have spent as long turning licensed data and hard compliance requirements into products that large organisations trust.13:T801,Andy Reiss is Chief Financial Officer at Cloudax. His career sits at an unusual intersection: decades spent understanding markets from the inside of a global investment house, time advising the UK government on enterprise policy, and years picking apart businesses as a professional investor. He read Zoology at the University of Oxford, earning both a B.A. and M.A., and was active in the Oxford Union. What began as a scientist's instinct for evidence and first principles carried over into how he would later read markets, companies, and policy. Andy spent 14 years at AllianceBernstein in New York as Senior Vice President and Director of Research, examining the long-horizon shifts that would define the decades ahead: cloud computing, genomics, electric vehicles, and the broader reshaping of how value is created. It was deep, cross-sector, institutional research at the highest level, the kind that informs how some of the world's largest investors actually allocate capital. He then stepped away from Wall Street and into Westminster, serving as Deputy Director and Policy Adviser at the Cabinet Office, where he advised No 10 and HM Treasury on enterprise policy including access to finance. He brought the same long-term thinking to government that he had applied to markets, helping shape the environment in which British businesses grow. From there he joined Fingleton Associates as a Director, advising clients on competition and regulatory issues, before returning to investment as Partner and Research Analyst at Trinetra Investment Management LLP, where he spent over eight years analysing market trends and investment opportunities. At Cloudax, Andy brings that full-spectrum lens (markets, policy, technology, and long-term strategic direction) to the finance function of an AI company scaling into enterprise telecoms. For a voice AI business operating at the intersection of regulated industries, institutional customers, and rapid technological change, there are few people better placed to steer the numbers and the narrative.14:T7cd,Garry Gormley is a Non-Executive Director at Cloudax and the Founder of FAB Solutions, one of the UK's leading voices in contact centre transformation and AI-driven customer experience. His mission has always been the same: to change the perception of contact centres, moving them from a cost line on a spreadsheet to a genuine source of competitive advantage, built on great people, great operations, and the right technology. Garry learned what scale actually looks like at Bupa UK, where he spent over five years as Head of Consumer New Business Sales. Running multisite operations for a major UK health insurer, he was responsible for increasing sales performance and customer satisfaction whilst delivering significant regulatory change programmes in a heavily scrutinised industry. It is the kind of environment that quietly teaches you the difference between contact centres that work and contact centres that don't, where a small change in process, coaching, or technology can move millions of pounds of revenue, or lose it. He took that operator's eye and founded FAB Solutions. Over seven years at the helm, Garry has built FAB into a specialist consultancy focused on CX, sales, and operational excellence, advising contact centre leaders on everything from frontline training and leadership development to the technology stack that sits underneath them. That on-the-ground perspective has made him one of the most trusted voices in the industry, regularly called upon by operators trying to modernise, improve performance, or deploy AI without breaking what already works. As a Non-Executive Director at Cloudax, Garry brings that operator's instinct into the boardroom. He understands, in granular detail, what a contact centre actually feels like (the agents, the metrics, the compliance, the customer on the other end of the line), which makes him uniquely placed to guide how Cloudax's voice AI platform is designed, positioned, and deployed in the businesses that rely on it most.15:T8e4,David Ordman is a Board Member at Cloudax. His career is the story of a Chief Financial Officer built for the hardest end of international business: emerging markets, infrastructure at scale, and public capital markets. He began at Price Waterhouse Coopers, where he trained and qualified as a Chartered Accountant and built the technical foundations that underpin everything since. From there, he took the unusual path of running finance functions in some of the toughest operating environments in the world. He served as Chief Financial Officer of Millicom's operations in Pakistan, held various Chief Financial Officer roles at United Utilities group companies in Estonia and Bulgaria, and was Chief Financial Officer at Starcomms Plc in Nigeria, a career spent translating complex local realities into financial discipline, control, and strategy. His defining chapter came at IHS Towers, one of the world's largest independent mobile telecommunications infrastructure providers. David spent 11 years as Executive Vice President and Group Chief Financial Officer, where he was a key member of the team that led IHS Towers' successful Initial Public Offering on the New York Stock Exchange in 2021. During his tenure he was responsible for multiple debt and equity raises, led the corporate restructure of the Group, and integrated five major acquisitions across Latin America with a combined equity value of approximately £1.2 billion. It is the kind of CV that you usually read piece by piece (a single IPO here, a single major acquisition there) compressed into a decade of execution at Group level. Today, David continues at IHS Towers as Non-Executive Director and Chair of the Audit Committee, serving as a director of various IHS Towers entities across Nigeria, South Africa, Brazil, and Kuwait. He holds an MBA from both Columbia Business School and London Business School, a B Eng (Hons) in Civil Engineering from the University of Birmingham, and is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants (FCA). At Cloudax, David brings the full weight of that experience to the board: the institutional rigour, the M&A and capital markets playbook, and the lens of an international operator who has scaled a telecoms business to public markets and governed it there.5:["$","$Le",null,{"formats":{"dateTime":{"short":{"day":"numeric","month":"short","year":"numeric"},"long":{"day":"numeric","month":"long","year":"numeric"}},"number":{"integer":{"maximumFractionDigits":0},"percent":{"style":"percent","maximumFractionDigits":0},"currency":{"style":"currency","currency":"GBP","currencyDisplay":"narrowSymbol"}}},"locale":"en-GB","messages":{"corePages":{"notFound":{"meta":{"title":"Page Not Found | Cloudax","description":"The page you requested could not be found."},"title":"This page has left the conversation.","description":"The address may have changed, or the page may no longer exist.","returnHome":"Return home","contactUs":"Contact us"},"home":{"meta":{"title":"Cloudax | A More Human Conversational AI","description":"Conversational AI that listens, understands and responds with the warmth and nuance of a real human conversation.","keywords":"conversational AI, voice AI, AI contact centre, inbound calls, outbound campaigns"},"hero":{"titleLine1":"A more human","titleLine2":"conversational AI","body":"Cloudax is the conversational AI platform trusted by enterprises to handle every customer conversation: at scale, around the clock, and to the compliance standards regulated industries require."},"trust":{"ariaLabel":"Trusted by","label":"Trusted by"},"common":{"letsTalk":"Let's Talk"},"product":{"titleLine1":"A more human","titleLine2":"product","body":"Cloudax’s conversational AI speaks to you like a person, not a system.

Using that same signal to press harder rather than to route more carefully is prohibited, not merely frowned upon.","emotionInferenceAtWorkOrInEducation":"Emotion inference at work or in education.","article51FProhibitsInferringEmotionsOf":"Article 5(1)(f) prohibits inferring emotions of natural persons in the workplace and in education institutions, outside narrow medical and safety grounds. Agent-sentiment scoring pointed at your own staff is the obvious exposure here.","biometricCategorisationByProtectedAttribute":"Biometric categorisation by protected attribute.","article51GProhibitsInferringRacePolitical":"Article 5(1)(g) prohibits inferring race, political opinion, trade union membership, religious belief, sex life or sexual orientation from biometric data. Accent and voiceprint are biometric data.","breachOfArticle5AttractsFinesUpTo":"Breach of Article 5 attracts fines up to €35 million or 7% of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. No other provision in the Act reaches that ceiling.","whereTheHighRiskLineActuallyFalls":"Where the high-risk line actually falls","highRiskIsNotAJudgementCallAbout":"High-risk is not a judgement call about how important your use case feels. It is a list. Annex III enumerates eight areas, and a conversational AI system is high-risk when its intended purpose falls inside one of them. Five of the eight are directly relevant to voice: biometrics, critical infrastructure, education, employment, and access to essential private and public services.","theUsefulMentalModelIsThisTheAct":"The useful mental model is this: the Act does not care that a conversation happened. It cares whether an automated system influenced a consequential decision about a person.","voiceUseCasesAgainstAnnexIII":"Voice use cases against Annex III","indicativeClassificationForCommonDeploymentsClassificationAlwaysTurns":"Indicative classification for common deployments. Classification always turns on the documented intended purpose of the specific system, not on the sector label.","sector":"Sector","voiceUseCase":"Voice use case","tier":"Tier","why":"Why","readDownThatTableAndAPatternEmerges":"Read down that table and a pattern emerges that surprises most buyers: the same organisation frequently runs both tiers. A health trust booking appointments by voice is in limited risk; the same trust triaging symptoms is high-risk. An insurer capturing a motor claim is in limited risk; the same insurer pricing life cover is high-risk. Compliance is scoped per system and per intended purpose, not per company.","theVerificationCarveOutBuyersKeepGettingWrong":"The verification carve-out buyers keep getting wrong","voiceBiometricsIsWhereTheMisreadingsClusterAnnex":"Voice biometrics is where the misreadings cluster. Annex III point 1(a) makes remote biometric identification systems high-risk, and then explicitly carves out systems used for biometric verification whose sole purpose is to confirm that a person is who they claim to be.","thatDistinctionIsWorthMoneyAVoiceprintCheck":"That distinction is worth money. A voiceprint check against the single account the caller has already identified is one-to-one verification and sits outside the high-risk list. Searching a caller's voice against a database of enrolled or watch-listed voices to work out who they are is one-to-many identification, and is high-risk. The functionality looks nearly identical in a demo. The regulatory consequence differs by an entire conformity assessment.","theEscapeHatchInArticle63And":"The escape hatch in Article 6(3), and its trapdoor","aSystemWhosePurposeFallsInsideAnnexIII":"A system whose purpose falls inside Annex III is not automatically high-risk. Article 6(3) allows a provider to conclude otherwise where the system does not pose a significant risk of harm to health, safety or fundamental rights (including because it does not materially influence the outcome of decision-making) and one of four conditions holds: it performs a narrow procedural task, it improves the result of a previously completed human activity, it detects patterns or deviations without replacing human assessment, or it performs a preparatory task to an assessment.","mostWellDesignedVoiceAgentsInHighRisk":"Most well-designed voice agents in high-risk sectors are aiming for that space: capture the facts, verify the details, prepare the file, and hand a human the decision. The trapdoor is the last sentence of the provision. If the system performs profiling of natural persons, it is high-risk regardless. And the derogation is not free: the assessment must be documented before the system goes to market, and the system must still be registered in the EU database. It is a paperwork route, not a silence route.","weKeepTheHumanInTheLoopIs":"\"We keep the human in the loop\" is a compliance strategy only if the loop is documented, logged and demonstrably able to change the outcome.","whatHighRiskActuallyCostsYou":"What high-risk actually costs you","ifAVoiceDeploymentLandsInHighRisk":"If a voice deployment lands in high-risk, Chapter III turns a product into a regulated product. In practice, for a voice agent, the obligations read as follows.","beforeItGoesLive":"Before it goes live","riskManagementSystemArticle9":"Risk management system (Article 9).","aContinuousDocumentedProcessAcrossTheLifecycleNot":"A continuous, documented process across the lifecycle, not a one-off risk register signed at launch.","dataGovernanceArticle10":"Data governance (Article 10).","trainingValidationAndTestingDataExaminedForBias":"Training, validation and testing data examined for bias and representativeness. For voice this means accent, dialect, age and speech-difference coverage, which is precisely where most ASR stacks underperform quietly.","technicalDocumentationArticle11AnnexIV":"Technical documentation (Article 11, Annex IV).","systemArchitectureModelProvenanceIntendedPurposeKnownLimitations":"System architecture, model provenance, intended purpose, known limitations, performance metrics.","instructionsForUseArticle13":"Instructions for use (Article 13).","theDeployerFacingTransparencyPackIfYouAre":"The deployer-facing transparency pack.

On a voice agent this is not the call recording; it is the retrieval decisions, tool calls, policy evaluations and model versions behind each turn.","humanOversightArticle14":"Human oversight (Article 14).","designedInCapabilityForAPersonToUnderstand":"Designed-in capability for a person to understand, intervene, override and stop. Barge-in and escalation to an agent are the visible layer; the harder requirement is that the human has enough context to actually change the outcome.","postMarketMonitoringArticle72":"Post-market monitoring (Article 72).","aPlanForCollectingAndAnalysingRealWorld":"A plan for collecting and analysing real-world performance, feeding back into the risk management system.","seriousIncidentReportingArticle73":"Serious incident reporting (Article 73).","notificationToTheMarketSurveillanceAuthorityImmediatelyAnd":"Notification to the market surveillance authority immediately and no later than 15 days after becoming aware: 10 days where a death is involved, 2 days for widespread infringement or serious disruption to critical infrastructure. Fifteen days is not long if you cannot reconstruct what your agent said and why.","theRoleTrapHowABuyerBecomesA":"The role trap: how a buyer becomes a provider","theActSObligationsDivideByRoleProviders":"The Act's obligations divide by role. Providers carry the bulk of Chapter III. Deployers carry a shorter but real list under Articles 26 and 27: operate the system per its instructions, assign competent human oversight, ensure input data is relevant, keep the automatically generated logs for at least six months, and (where you are an employer) inform workers' representatives and affected workers before putting a high-risk system to work in the workplace. Public bodies, private operators delivering public services, and deployers doing creditworthiness or life and health insurance pricing additionally owe a fundamental rights impact assessment.","article25IsTheProvisionThatCatchesEnterprise":"Article 25 is the provision that catches enterprise buyers off guard. A deployer becomes a provider (inheriting the full provider obligation set) if it puts its own name or trademark on a high-risk system, makes a substantial modification to it, or modifies the intended purpose of a system such that it becomes high-risk.","considerHowOrdinaryEachOfThoseIsIn":"Consider how ordinary each of those is in a voice programme. You white-label the agent under your brand. You rewrite the system prompt, add tools, wire in your own retrieval and change the decision logic. You take an agent procured for appointment booking and point it at symptom triage. Every one of those is a live Article 25 question, and the answer determines whether your vendor's conformity work covers you or whether you have quietly taken it on yourself.","theQuestionToAskInternally":"The question to ask internally","areWeADeployerOrHaveWeBecome":"Are we a deployer, or have we become a provider?","writeDownForEachVoiceDeploymentWhoseName":"Write down, for each voice deployment: whose name is on it, what we changed after procurement, and whether the intended purpose we documented matches what the system is doing today. If those three answers do not line up, the obligation set you planned for is the wrong one.","theModelUnderneathYourAgent":"The model underneath your agent","voiceAgentsAreAssembledNotMonolithicAnASR":"Voice agents are assembled, not monolithic: an ASR model, one or more language models, a TTS voice, and an orchestration layer. General-purpose AI model obligations have applied since August 2025, which means the model providers beneath you owe technical documentation, downstream information, a copyright policy and a training-data summary; and, where a model is deemed to carry systemic risk, evaluation, adversarial testing, incident reporting and cybersecurity duties on top.","thatMattersToYouForAPracticalReason":"That matters to you for a practical reason. Your Annex IV documentation and your Article 15 accuracy claims depend on information you do not generate. If your voice vendor cannot tell you which model versions served which calls, you cannot make a defensible accuracy declaration, and you cannot answer a regulator asking why a specific answer was given on a specific call. Model pinning and version disclosure stopped being an engineering preference and became a compliance dependency.","ifYouAreAUKBusinessYouAre":"If you are a UK business, you are probably still in scope","theUKHasNoEquivalentStatuteThatIs":"The UK has no equivalent statute. That is not the relief it is sometimes read as. Article 2 gives the Act extraterritorial reach: it applies to providers placing AI systems on the EU market or putting them into service in the EU regardless of where they are established, and to providers and deployers established outside the EU where the output produced by the system is used in the EU.","aUKVoiceAIVendorWithAnIrish":"A UK voice AI vendor with an Irish, Dutch or German customer is a provider under the Act. A UK enterprise running one estate that handles calls from EU customers is in scope for that estate. And in practice the commercial pressure arrives before the legal one: EU-facing procurement teams are already asking for Annex IV documentation, and UK regulators (the FCA's Consumer Duty work in particular) are converging on the same evidence, if not the same paperwork.","whatToPutInYourNextRFP":"What to put in your next RFP","ifYouAreBuyingConversationalAIThisYear":"If you are buying conversational AI this year, six asks separate vendors who have done the work from vendors who have written a paragraph about it.","aWrittenClassificationOfTheSpecificSystemAgainst":"A written classification of the specific system against Annex III, with the reasoning, and, where Article 6(3) is claimed, the documented assessment behind it.","theArticle13InstructionsForUseInFull":"The Article 13 instructions for use, in full, before contract, not a datasheet.","declaredAccuracyMetricsWithTheTestConditionsAttached":"Declared accuracy metrics with the test conditions attached, including narrowband telephony performance and accent coverage.","aDescriptionOfWhatArticle12LoggingActually":"A description of what Article 12 logging actually captures, how long it is retained, and whether you can reconstruct a single turn end to end on demand.","modelProvenanceAndVersionPinningPlusNoticeBefore":"Model provenance and version pinning, plus notice before any model change reaches production.","aClearArticle25PositionWhichModificationsThe":"A clear Article 25 position: which modifications the vendor considers substantial, and at what point their conformity work stops covering you.","theHonestVersion":"The honest version","theStandardsAreNotFinishedAndTheWork":"The standards are not finished, and the work still is.","theHarmonisedStandardsThatWillMakeConformityAssessment":"The harmonised standards that will make conformity assessment routine are still being written, and nobody can hand you a finished certification path today. What is available now is the underlying discipline: ISO/IEC 42001 for AI management, ISO 27001 for information security, governed knowledge instead of prompt-stuffed policy, and audit trails deep enough to reconstruct a conversation. Every one of those is required whether the deadline moves or not.","buildForTheAuditNotTheDeadline":"Build for the audit, not the deadline","theAIActIsOftenReadAsA":"The AI Act is often read as a compliance cost.

The carrier decides what survives the codec; the application layer inherits whatever is left.","thatMakesThisAUniquelyTractableProblemA":"That makes this a uniquely tractable problem. A wideband-default UK network would lift the floor of every voice AI deployment in the country at the same time, with no coordination required at the application layer.

It has never been enough.","asVoiceAIBecomesThePrimaryInterfaceBetween":"As voice AI becomes the primary interface between citizens, public services and the businesses they rely on, the cost of pretending otherwise will be measured in misunderstood callers, failed automation, lost productivity, and a country that built world-class AI and then crippled it at the wire.","weCanDoBetterWeHaveTo":"We can do better.
