AI Strategy Consulting for Yorkshire Businesses
Yorkshire is home to some of the UK's most ambitious professional services, financial services and legal firms. We work with businesses across Leeds, Sheffield, Wakefield, Bradford, Huddersfield and York to navigate AI adoption, from strategy through to operating model transformation and fractional Chief AI Officer services.
Why Oxygen Bubbles for Yorkshire Businesses
We're based in Wakefield and deeply embedded in the Yorkshire business ecosystem. Our founder is a University of Leeds alumnus who spent 25 years as CTO and CIO, and we've worked with Yorkshire-headquartered businesses across insurance, financial services, legal services, professional services and higher education.
You get senior practitioners who understand your region's business context, sector strengths and the specific governance challenges facing growing professional services businesses. We're not a remote London consultancy; we work across Yorkshire and understand what good looks like in your market.
Our Services Across Yorkshire
Breathe is our 5–10 day discovery sprint. We come in, understand your current AI readiness, map your technology capability, and deliver a clear roadmap. Perfect for businesses that have started exploring AI but need clarity on governance, risk and operating model implications.
Flow is our pilot delivery service. You identify a business problem—process automation, data analysis, operational efficiency—and we deliver a working proof of concept within 4 weeks. Flow builds real capability in your team and de-risks larger transformations.
Grow is fractional Chief AI Officer. We embed with your leadership team to build AI governance, set AI strategy, oversee capability building and ensure you're using AI competitively without blundering into risk. Fractional means you get senior strategic thinking without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Who We Work With
We work with businesses with 100 to 2,000 people across insurance, financial services, legal, professional services, higher education and PE-backed portfolios. Yorkshire is particularly strong in financial services and legal—sectors where AI competence is rapidly becoming table stakes, and where governance and risk appetite shape everything.
If you're making decisions about AI adoption, building an operating model that doesn't break under the weight of new capability, or trying to work out what "fractional Chief AI Officer" actually means for your business, we're the right people to talk to.
