Fractional CAIO support across the M62 corridor, delivered by Richard J. Keenlyside - a senior technology operator with three decades of board-level leadership across UK and international businesses. The M62 corridor - Liverpool, Warrington, Manchester, Leeds, Hull - is one of the densest industrial and logistics belts in the UK, with substantial manufacturing, retail distribution and PE-backed mid-market activity.
On-site days planned across multiple corridor sites in a single week - typically combining HQ with a distribution or manufacturing site visit. Remote cadence between visits.
Travel and on-site: M62 corridor engagements typically use Manchester or Leeds as the anchor day, with Liverpool and Hull added as half-day visits.
Multiple multi-site engagements have run along this corridor - Co-operative Food (Manchester HQ, distribution North), Pork Farm Foods (Yorkshire production), and retail clients with Northern logistics footprints.
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.
