What Tenhaw is, answered in full.

Tenhaw is a UK AI consultancy and AI delivery partner, based in London and registered in England and Wales. It embeds forward-deployed squads of three (an agentic lead, an engineer and an adoption lead) inside large organisations to redesign how they work around AI agents, covering the operating model, the systems that get built, and the adoption that makes the change stick. Engagements are structured around a monthly production increment rather than a distant go-live. Tenhaw sells professional services, not software.

Both, and refusing to pick is the point. The consultancy half is the diagnostic work: a fixed-price Agent-Readiness Audit that establishes where agents create value, what the data estate and platform can actually support, and what evidence your risk function will need. The delivery partner half is that the same people then build it, inside your estate and your repositories, alongside your engineers. Most AI consultancies stop at the recommendation, and an AI implementation partner is usually brought in only after somebody else has decided what to build, which is precisely where enterprise AI programmes lose a year. Tenhaw is an agentic AI consultancy that ships, and it will equally run a programme that other suppliers are building, with no requirement that it builds any of it. One thing it is not: a body shop selling undirected engineering capacity by the head. The decade of track record is delivery and transformation; the agentic evidence is a working proof of concept built in two weeks inside a live, regulated London insurance business, now being productionised. The case studies label which is which.

An AI consultancy and an AI delivery partner. The same firm answers to generative AI consultancy, enterprise AI consultancy, and digital transformation consultancy where the programme in question is an AI one. Three categories it is not: a staffing agency, because nobody is placed by the day into someone else's plan; a compliance or assurance consultancy, because it builds audit trails into systems rather than certifying anyone against a standard; and a product vendor, because there is no tool underneath the advice.

An AI delivery partner is accountable for agents reaching production and reaching people's working day, not for a strategy somebody else has to implement. In practice that is five jobs. First, deciding what to build: which workflows are worth giving to agents, in what order, and what each is worth in currency. Second, designing the operating model around it: whose role changes, who owns the decisions an agent now makes, and what happens when it gets one wrong. Third, building it inside your estate with your engineers, not in a supplier's sandbox, so the capability stays behind when the partner leaves. Fourth, the evidence: evaluation, audit trails, escalation paths and human-in-the-loop points specified during design, not reconstructed for an auditor eighteen months later. Fifth, adoption, which is the part that usually fails, and which is measured rather than assumed. The test that separates a delivery partner from an advisory engagement is what reaches production in the first thirty days. Tenhaw commits to a monthly production increment and reports a month with nothing in production as a failed month.

Five things, across three tracks. Two ways in: a fixed-price Agent-Readiness Audit (£30k–£90k, 6–8 weeks) that establishes where agents create value, or an Agentic Proof of Concept (£20k–£55k, 2–4 weeks) that builds a working system against one real workflow. Then delivery: an Agentic Design Team of two (£35k–£55k per month) designing the operating model and agentic architecture together, and an Agentic Build Team of three under partner oversight (£70k–£85k per month) that builds and ships it. And separately, Programme and Delivery Management (£18k–£35k per month). Tenhaw will govern a programme delivered entirely by other suppliers, with no requirement that it builds any of it.

Tenhaw publishes both its engagement prices and its day rates. Day rates: partner (James Rooney) £1,560, senior practitioner £1,250, associate £950, all excluding VAT. Engagements: Agent-Readiness Audit £30,000–£90,000 fixed; Agentic Proof of Concept £20,000–£55,000 fixed over 2–4 weeks; Agentic Design Team £35,000–£55,000 per month; Agentic Build Team £70,000–£85,000 per month; Programme and Delivery Management £18,000–£35,000 per month. Every engagement price is derived from the rate card at twenty billable days a month, so you can check the arithmetic yourself.

James Rooney, founder and Transformation Director. He has spent a decade landing delivery transformation at HSBC, Microsoft, Sky, F1, Discovery and Anglo American, running programmes with $100M+ budgets and designing the product operating model prepared for global rollout to 500+ squads, and codified that experience into a methodology called The Tenhaw Way. He leads engagements personally rather than selling them and delegating delivery.

A senior practitioner who works inside the client's organisation with a real reporting line and real decision rights, rather than advising from outside it. In Tenhaw's case that means sitting in your rooms, your decisions and your org chart, building the systems alongside your people instead of producing recommendations for someone else to implement.

No. You are buying people, not licences. Tenhaw delivers agentic transformation as a professional service: senior operators embedded in your organisation, priced as a fixed-price engagement or a monthly team, with no seat count, no licence fee and nothing to renew. Tenhaw did previously develop delivery-management software, and some third-party directories still list it that way, but the business today is a consultancy selling professional services.

Team shape and accountability. Tenhaw deploys a small number of senior operators who build alongside your people, publishes its prices, commits to a production increment every month and reports against it, and writes a contractual exit date and permanent-team recruitment into the scope. Large consultancies offer scale, multi-domain regulatory depth and brand safety that Tenhaw cannot match. If you need 200 people across twelve countries, they are the right call.

Typically organisations from 500 to 100,000+ people where agentic transformation requires changing how many teams work, not just adopting a tool. Past engagements include HSBC, Microsoft, Sky, F1, Discovery, Anglo American, Greggs, Yondr and YOOX NET-A-PORTER.

No, but the UK is home and most engagements are with UK enterprises. Tenhaw LTD is registered in England and Wales and based in London, which is where the practical advantages sit for a British buyer: a UK contracting entity, invoicing in sterling, on-site days without a flight, and associates screened to BS7858 standard with right-to-work checks completed before they touch your estate. Engagements also run across Europe and the United States, and past work has been delivered in the UK, Australia, the USA and Singapore. Geography matters less than overlap: forward-deployed work depends on being in your rooms and your decisions, so we will take work anywhere we can do that, and we will tell you on the first call when we cannot. Outside the UK, expect a UK-based team travelling to you rather than a local office, because Tenhaw does not have one.

Both, and the distinction matters. James Rooney worked inside HSBC, Microsoft, Sky, F1 and Discovery in delivery and transformation roles, on contract and in permanent positions. Other engagements (including Anglo American, Yondr, Greggs, Colart, Tecknuovo and Globelynx) were delivered under the Tenhaw banner. Several predate the company's incorporation and were delivered by James personally on contract; we will walk you through which is which on the call. Case studies name the client wherever we have their permission; our current agentic engagement is confidential at the client's request and is written up unnamed, and every one states where an outcome was a pilot or proof of concept rather than a production rollout.
