Fractional CAIO support across the UK, delivered by Richard J. Keenlyside - a senior technology operator with three decades of board-level leadership across UK and international businesses. Many engagements don't sit neatly in one city. UK-wide arrangements cover multi-site businesses - typically with HQ in one location and operations across several others.
Remote-first, with on-site days at HQ and selected operational sites by arrangement. Suited to organisations whose footprint spans multiple regions or whose leadership team is itself distributed.
Travel and on-site: On-site cadence agreed up-front based on the business footprint. Most UK-wide engagements run on a weekly remote rhythm with monthly multi-site visit weeks.
A large proportion of engagements are UK-wide by design - including multi-site retail (Sainsbury's, Co-operative Food, Mothercare, GAME), multi-region manufacturing (MAN Trucks, Webasto, Pork Farm Foods) and infrastructure (Network Rail).
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.
