Track Record

A €40bn insurance subsidiary was several years into a major IT transformation that had reached critical status. Brought in to independently assess the programme, evaluate recovery scenarios, and recommend a path forward.

A £1.1bn logistics company’s infrastructure improvement programme had stalled. The team was fatigued, stakeholder confidence was low, and a datacentre closure was at risk of missing its deadline.

A £235m PE-backed retailer needed its WAN rebuilt across 150 sites, vendors consolidated, and an outsource transformation delivered — all while keeping stores trading.

An £850m energy utility needed industrial control systems integrated with enterprise IT across its Energy-from-Waste facilities. Two worlds with different cultures, risk profiles, and operating models had to converge.

A £50m revenue telecom had accumulated significant technical debt across its infrastructure. Operational costs were climbing, reliability was declining, and the team was spending more time firefighting than improving.

A £500m manufacturing group had grown through acquisition, leaving 56 sites with inconsistent IT infrastructure, duplicated services, and no centralised visibility of cost or capability.

A global telecoms infrastructure programme required a complex supplier transition. The outgoing supplier had limited incentive to cooperate, knowledge transfer was incomplete, and service continuity was at risk.

An Octopus Investments portfolio company needed its technology strategy redesigned after a shift in commercial objectives. The existing IT roadmap no longer aligned with where the business was heading.

A pharmaceutical industry consortium recognised that operational technology cyber security required a coordinated, cross-industry response rather than each company working in isolation.
