About Optionchain

We're a growing IT project management consultancy. Built on real delivery experience and a clear idea of what good looks like.

Our Mission

Making Great Project Management Accessible

Too many organisations hit the same wall. They need an experienced PM and their options are either a permanent hire that takes months to recruit or a consultant who looks good on paper but hasn't actually delivered in the real world.

Optionchain was built to fix that. We put senior IT project and delivery managers in front of the right problems โ€” quickly and on flexible terms. No juniors learning on the job. No overblown consulting fees.

The goal is to grow into a consultancy that organisations of any size can rely on. Senior delivery experience that's actually accessible.

Our Values
๐ŸŽฏ

Outcomes First

We care about what gets delivered, not just what gets documented.

๐Ÿค

Honest & Straightforward

We tell clients what they need to hear โ€” especially when it's difficult.

โšก

Responsive

We move quickly. Slow consultancy responses cost clients time and money.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Continuously Improving

Every engagement is an opportunity to do better โ€” for our clients and ourselves.

Background

George has over 10 years of experience delivering complex IT, cybersecurity and business transformation programmes for some of the UK's largest organisations. Financial services, insurance, government, defence and telecoms โ€” he's worked across all of them.

He started in infrastructure and IT programmes and built his way up to programme governance and commercial negotiation at executive level. The full stack of project and delivery management.

Why He Founded Optionchain

After years as a senior PM inside large organisations and on contract he kept seeing the same problem. Businesses needed experienced PM support but the options were too slow, too expensive or too junior to make a real difference.

Optionchain was the answer. A consultancy built on actual delivery experience with a model designed to be fast and flexible.

The Vision

George wants to grow Optionchain into a team of senior PMs โ€” each with deep expertise in their field โ€” that organisations can rely on for the long term. The business is actively looking for experienced project managers to join as it scales.

Where We're Heading

Building the Consultancy

๐Ÿ‘ฅ

Growing Our Team

We're actively looking to bring experienced IT project managers onboard โ€” people who share our values and want to deliver real outcomes for clients, not just fill a timesheet.

๐ŸŒ

Expanding Our Reach

Our aim is to serve organisations across all sectors and sizes โ€” from SMEs taking on their first major IT programme to large enterprises needing specialist delivery support.

๐Ÿ“ฆ

Developing Our Packages

As the consultancy grows, we'll continue to develop new service offerings โ€” always driven by what our clients actually need, not what looks good in a brochure.

๐Ÿค

Long-Term Partnerships

We want to be the go-to PM partner for organisations over the long term โ€” not a one-off hire, but a trusted resource they come back to again and again.
