We give you senior exec expertise without the senior exec salary.
You need senior expertise but can't justify a full-time exec salary.
Sound familiar?
The knot.
Strategic decisions are being made by people without the experience to make them. Or by you - even though it's not your strength. You need a CMO, CTO, or COO, but £150k+ for someone you might need 10 hours a week doesn't make sense. You're stuck between affording the expertise and needing it.
What we do about it
The fix.
We provide fractional leadership - senior executives on a part-time basis. Strategic planning, team leadership, process optimisation, without the full-time cost. You get the expertise you need at a price that makes sense.
What you get.
The deliverables, plainly listed. If it's not here, ask — we'll tell you honestly whether it's included.
- 01 Part-time executive leadership (typically 1-2 days per week or project-based)
- 02 Strategic planning and execution oversight for your growth initiatives
- 03 Team leadership, hiring support, and performance management guidance
- 04 Board and investor-ready reporting and strategic communications
- 05 Process optimisation and operational efficiency improvements
- 06 Knowledge transfer to build internal capability over time
How this one works.
No discovery phases that outlive the project. Just the steps that earn their place.
- 01 Needs Assessment We identify exactly what leadership gaps exist, what outcomes you need, and how much executive time is actually required. No padding, no overcommitment - just the right fit.
- 02 Integration We embed into your leadership team, understanding your culture, meeting rhythms, and current challenges. Quick wins in the first 30 days while building the foundation for bigger changes.
- 03 Strategic Execution We own the strategic direction of our domain - whether that's marketing, technology, or operations. Not just advising, but actually driving results with your team.
- 04 Capability Building We build internal capability so you can eventually reduce or eliminate fractional support. The goal is to make ourselves unnecessary, not dependent.
Why this matters
Growing businesses hit a point where the founder can't do everything and junior staff lack the experience for strategic decisions. Full-time C-suite hires are expensive and risky - wrong fit costs 12+ months of salary plus opportunity cost. Fractional leadership gives you the strategic horsepower you need at a fraction of the cost and risk.
Who this suits
- Businesses between £1M-£10M who need strategic leadership but not full-time
- Founders wearing too many hats who need to hand off a domain to an expert
- Companies preparing for investment, acquisition, or major growth phase
- Organisations with leadership gaps after departures or during transitions
The questions everyone asks.
If yours isn't here, ask it — we answer emails within 24 hours.
Q1 What roles do you offer fractionally?
We provide fractional CMO (marketing leadership), CTO (technology leadership), and COO (operations leadership). Each brings 15+ years of experience in their domain and has led teams at scale.
Q2 How many hours per week do fractional leaders typically work?
Most engagements are 1-2 days per week, though this varies based on business stage and needs. Some clients need intensive support during a launch or transition, then scale back. We flex to what actually makes sense.
Q3 Won't a part-time leader lack context?
Actually, the opposite. Fractional leaders work across multiple businesses, bringing fresh perspectives and cross-industry insights. They're also incredibly efficient with time - no politics, no padding, just focused strategic work.
Q4 How long do fractional engagements typically last?
Minimum 6 months to create meaningful change, though many clients continue for years. Some transition to full-time hires we help recruit. Others find the fractional model works perfectly long-term. No lock-in contracts - you stay because it works.
