Your fractional CTO. Without the full-time cost.
Six months without anyone owning the technology decisions and the same questions are still being asked in the same Monday meeting. The vendors are still circling. The roadmap is still a whiteboard.
Monthly strategic and operational leadership for businesses that need the thinking without a full-time hire. Roadmap ownership. Vendor management. 25 years inside the sector, on retainer.
Fractional CTO services give you the technology leadership and vendor oversight a growing business needs — without recruiting for a role that will cost £80,000+ before it has delivered value.
Four situations where a fractional CTO makes sense
Not every business needs a full-time ops director. But every business needs the thinking.
Post-audit implementation
The audit found the issues. Now you need someone to drive the fixes. Retained gives you the hands-on delivery without a full-time hire.
ERP or technology transition
You're implementing new software. You need someone who understands the sector, the vendors, and your business — and can hold everyone accountable. A fractional CTO without vendor ties is the most effective way to hold an implementation to account.
Scaling without chaos
Revenue is growing but the systems aren't keeping up. You need operational infrastructure built around how your business actually works.
Covering a gap
Your ops director has left, or you've never had a dedicated IT or operations lead. Fractional CTO services give you senior operational thinking without the £80k+ salary commitment.
