Transparent pricing

Transparent technology consulting pricing.

You should have a reasonable idea what something costs before you speak to us. Here's how our pricing works — and the indicative numbers behind it.

All prices exclude VAT. Final scope and fees are agreed before work begins.

How our pricing works

Our day rate and example engagement costs give you a realistic starting budget. Engagement estimates reflect the likely time involved; ongoing leadership is based on the days you need each month.

Our indicative day rate is £1,100 ex VAT. We agree the scope and final fee before work begins.

Ongoing support: commitment and discounts

More than 6 months10%£990

No standard minimum commitment. We agree the scope, number of days and engagement period with you before work begins. Any notice period forms part of that agreement. Longer commitments can attract the discounts shown above, agreed individually. Your fee is based on the agreed days and day rate.

Ad hoc advice or interim leadership

£1,100 per day, ex VAT. The total depends on the number of days agreed.

No recruitment fee, pension or employer NI. IR35 handled per engagement. Embedded / bespoke by arrangement.

What drives the price

  • Size and complexity — the time needed to deliver the agreed work.
  • Scope — how many systems, sites and stakeholders are in play.
  • Urgency — a full-time interim assignment is more intensive than ongoing oversight.

Estimate vs quote

The numbers above are indicative estimates to help you plan. A firm quote is the short, human-confirmed step once we've agreed the scope — never a surprise on the invoice.
