The same challenge appears across very different organisations: managed service contracts that have never been independently reviewed, technology spend that has grown without scrutiny, and supplier relationships that no one has had the time to properly examine. Our approach works wherever those conditions exist.
We are establishing our practice in three sectors where technology dependency is high, regulatory exposure is real, and independent oversight is typically absent. These are our first wave — not our only wave.
Accountancy practices carry significant client data obligations and operate under FRC, ICAEW, and ACCA oversight. They rely heavily on cloud platforms yet frequently have a single MSP and no independent review of that relationship. An audit here is as much a governance exercise as a commercial one.
Estate agencies depend on CRM platforms, cloud telephony, and managed IT for a business built on time-sensitive transactions. Many operate across multiple branches with contracts agreed centrally and never revisited. We review whether the technology and the contract still serve the business as it is today.
Golf clubs carry technology obligations that have grown quietly: tee booking systems, POS, CCTV, managed Wi-Fi, and often an MSP contracted years ago without competitive review. We fill the gap between what's been agreed and what the club actually needs.
Any UK SME with a managed service contract that has not been independently reviewed is a strong candidate for this work. The sectors below are those where we see consistent, recurring patterns of untapped value and insufficient oversight.
Law firms, consultancies, architects, and advisory businesses with client confidentiality obligations and cloud-dependent operations. Compliance requirements make independent technology oversight a governance priority as much as a commercial one.
Operations that depend on connectivity, device management, and operational technology. MSP contracts in this sector often lag the operational scale of the business and are rarely reviewed against what alternatives now offer.
Distributed workforces, mobile device management, and project data across multiple sites. Technology contracts often reflect the scale of the business at an earlier stage — we review whether current arrangements serve where the business is today.
Environments combining OT and IT, with MSP relationships that may not reflect the full scope of the technology estate. Licensing, connectivity, and support contracts in manufacturing are frequently fragmented and rarely reviewed as a whole.
For larger organisations with complex supplier portfolios, multi-year agreements, and internal IT functions that benefit from independent challenge. Includes supplier portfolio reviews, technology strategy assurance, and governance frameworks for boards and audit committees.
Procurement-aware oversight for organisations operating under public sector rules, where independent advice on supplier management supports value-for-money obligations and audit readiness.
FCA-regulated businesses where technology supplier management intersects with operational resilience obligations. Independent oversight of outsourced IT arrangements supports board-level accountability and regulatory compliance.
We do not impose a template. Every engagement begins with understanding your context, obligations, and priorities. If your sector is not listed here, the conversation is still worth having.
