Technology Consulting &
Fractional CTO in the Thames Valley
Senior technology leadership across the M4 corridor — from Reading and Bracknell to Slough, Maidenhead, and beyond. In-person availability for strategy sessions, board advisory, and hands-on engineering leadership.
The Thames Valley Tech Ecosystem
The Thames Valley and M4 corridor form one of the UK's most significant technology clusters outside London. Home to global headquarters, ambitious scale-ups, and a thriving startup ecosystem, the region demands senior technical leadership that understands both the local landscape and global best practices. We provide CTO services and technology consulting across the entire corridor — from the enterprise hubs of Slough and Maidenhead to the innovation centres of Reading and Bracknell.
Reading
The heart of the UK Tech Triangle. Home to a thriving Enterprise Zone, major technology employers, and a growing ecosystem of fintech and SaaS scale-ups. Our primary Berkshire base for in-person engagements.

A key node in the Western Corridor with a strong base of established technology companies and an ambitious scale-up community in Bracknell Forest. Local presence for face-to-face strategy and engineering reviews.
View Bracknell services →Slough, Maidenhead & Windsor
The eastern gateway to the M4 corridor. Major corporate headquarters, data centres, and an emerging startup scene. We serve businesses across this area with the same in-person availability.
