Transformation Director support across the North-East of England, delivered by Richard J. Keenlyside - a senior technology operator with three decades of board-level leadership across UK and international businesses. The North-East - Newcastle, Sunderland, Durham, Teesside and the Tees Valley - has a concentrated industrial, financial-services back-office and process-engineering base, plus a growing tech cluster.
Local home base means on-site availability across the region can be arranged at short notice - including half-day visits, board attendance and informal site walk-throughs.
Travel and on-site: Newcastle, Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Durham all reachable as same-day on-site visits with no overnight travel.
Long-standing presence in the North-East across food manufacturing (M.I. Dicksons), industrial supply chain (LoneStar Group / Tees Valley) and the wider regional executive community.
Boards and PE sponsors running a major change programme who need a senior operator to own delivery end-to-end, with the track record to navigate complexity and the authority to make decisions.

Most Transformation Director engagements run for an initial 90-day discovery period followed by an ongoing leadership cadence. Typical outcomes include: A change programme structured for delivery, not theatre; Day-1 readiness and post-merger integration that protects value; Carve-out, separation or migration delivered on time and on budget; A leadership team genuinely capable of running the new state.
