K4IT Information

K4IT Advisory provides practical, commercially focused technology leadership for growing brands. We work with multi site, customer facing businesses across hospitality, retail, leisure and healthcare, where IT has to perform every trading day and every site counts. The work is led by Colin Kendrick, a CIO and IT Director with 25 years of experience building IT functions, delivering cloud migrations and digital platforms, and reporting into boards, CEOs and CFOs. Three ways to engage: Fractional CIO and IT Director. Senior leadership a few days per month or per week without the cost of a full time hire. Strategy, budget, risk and vendor oversight, plus coaching for your existing IT team. Advisory and project consulting. A defined challenge with a defined outcome: a three year IT and digital roadmap, a POS, ERP, CRM or ticketing selection, a vendor and licence cost review, or cyber and resilience readiness. Board and non executive support. Independent oversight of technology strategy, spend and risk, including business case challenge, M&A due diligence and integration planning. We treat IT as an enabler of growth, not a cost centre. The result is fewer surprises for your teams, better data for your decisions, lower operational risk, and technology that pays for itself. Based in London, working across the UK.
