Independent IT Review 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.
Boards, investors, audit committees or new CEOs who need a credible second opinion on IT strategy, risk, spend or delivery - especially around investment cases, post-acquisition diligence, or after a major incident.
