AI consultancy for London's mid-market
Most of our work is with London firms in financial services, insurance, legal and professional services, the sectors where getting AI wrong carries regulatory and reputational weight. We give leadership teams of 100 to 2,000 people senior, founder-led AI leadership: readiness analysis, real delivery and a fractional Chief AI Officer when you need ownership without a full-time hire.
Senior AI leadership, without London-consultancy overheads
You get a technology leader of 30 years, who has held CTO and CIO roles and, earlier in his career, SMF24 senior manager accountability at two UK insurers, working on your AI directly. The person you meet is the person who does the work. We are lean by design, so a London firm gets national-calibre judgement without paying for a large consultancy's overheads or a bench of juniors learning on your account. That combination, senior and lean, is hard to find in the City.
Built for regulated London firms
London's mid-market carries the same regulatory expectations as the largest institutions, without the same in-house depth. We design governance in from the start, map AI to the accountability the FCA and PRA already assume, and build capabilities that survive contact with an audit. The work is grounded in the operating model, not a slide deck, so what you buy is something that runs on a Monday morning.
How we work with London firms
We work UK-wide and on the ground in London, blending on-site time with remote delivery so momentum never depends on being in the same room. It starts with Breathe, a costed AI readiness and strategy analysis; moves to Flow to build the first real capability; and continues with Grow, a fractional Chief AI Officer embedded in your leadership team. Being based in Leeds is a feature, not a limitation: it keeps you lean, and we are a train ride away when it matters.
We work UK-wide, so businesses outside the capital may prefer our Birmingham, Manchester or Leeds pages.

Why the Best AI Consultants Are Not Always in London
AI consulting quality depends on experience and rigour, not postcode. Some of the sharpest practitioners in the UK are outside London.

Is Your AI Consultancy Independent?
Almost every AI consultancy calls itself independent and almost none of them mean anything you could check. The question that actually works is what they sell, because that determines the advice before anybody has spoken to you.
