Fractional CTO 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).
SaaS, platform and product-led companies that need technical leadership but don't yet warrant a full-time CTO - particularly during scale-up phases or pre/post-acquisition.
