The Automation Consultants is a senior, independent UK automation consultancy based in Clerkenwell, London. We map how a business runs, find the costly manual work, and automate it across workflow, process, system integration and AI. We resell no software, quote outcomes in pounds, and are honest about when automation isn't the answer.
Who we are
The Automation Consultants is a senior, independent automation consultancy for UK mid-market businesses. We map how a business really runs, find the manual work that quietly costs the most, and automate it — across workflow, business process, system integration and AI.
We're based at 40 Bowling Green Lane in Clerkenwell, central London, and work with clients across the UK.
What we believe
- Map first, automate second. Automating a bad process just makes it fail faster. We redesign before we build.
- Independent on purpose. We resell no software and take no platform commissions. Our recommendation is the one that's best for you.
- ROI, not deliverables. We quote outcomes in hours and pounds, not "automations shipped".
- Honest about fit. If automation is premature, or a rule engine beats AI, we'll tell you — even when it means a smaller engagement.
How we work
Every engagement runs in fixed-fee phases: a free discovery call, a paid audit (£3K-£6K) that maps and ranks the opportunity, a build phase (£15K-£50K), and an optional retainer (£1-3K/month). Most engagements pay back within 3-9 months. See how an engagement works for the detail, or our case studies for real outcomes.
Who we work with
UK mid-market businesses with enough process volume and system sprawl that manual work is a real, measurable cost — professional services, agencies, e-commerce operations and B2B SaaS among them. We are not regulated to give tax advice; where finance processes touch tax, we connect you with a qualified UK accountant.
