Fractional CAIO support in Doncaster, delivered by Richard J. Keenlyside - a senior technology operator with three decades of board-level leadership across UK and international businesses. Doncaster is one of the UK's most significant logistics and distribution hubs, anchored by iPort (the country's largest inland port), strong road and rail connections via the A1 and M18, and a substantial manufacturing and food production base across the wider South Yorkshire area.
On-site days in Doncaster by arrangement, easily combined with Sheffield or Leeds into a single South Yorkshire visit. Suited to logistics, manufacturing and supply-chain clients requiring on-site operational familiarity.
Travel and on-site: Direct LNER service from London Kings Cross (~1h30). Combines naturally with Sheffield and Leeds into a full South Yorkshire day.
Supply chain and distribution experience runs through a significant part of the engagement history - multi-site retail distribution (Co-operative Food, Sainsbury's), food manufacturing logistics (Pork Farm Foods), and ERP transformation in businesses with complex distribution footprints share the same operational character as Doncaster's industrial base.
Businesses deploying AI at scale, navigating EU AI Act obligations, or facing board and investor scrutiny on AI risk - particularly those needing a credible named AI executive without the cost of a permanent hire.
