What Redrock Consulting does

RedRock Consulting is a founder-run UK technology and strategy consultancy headquartered in Bristol, operating since 2005 and serving primarily UK central government, agencies, arms-length bodies, and a selective set of private sector clients. The company is structured around eight core service capabilities (Agile & Programme Delivery, Cloud & Infrastructure Services, Cyber Security & Organisational Resilience, Data/AI & Analytics, Software Development, Strategy & Advisory, Transformation & Change, and User-Centred Design & Research) delivered through three engagement models: Consulting Services, Capability as a Service, and Burst Capacity. Technical delivery spans multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), cloud-native and containerised architectures, Infrastructure as Code, DevOps/CI-CD, data platforms, Generative AI integration, RPA, and WCAG 2.2 AA-compliant software development, with proprietary methodologies such as the SHIFT five-day design sprint and the MoJ Dynamic Framework for supplier cyber assurance.

RedRock generates revenue through bespoke professional services and managed capability contracts on a quote-based, multi-year basis, with no publicly disclosed pricing. It sells exclusively through direct enterprise and government sales, augmented by positions on three lots of the UK Digital Outcomes and Specialists 7 (DOS7) framework and long-tenured partnerships with anchor clients such as the MHRA (10 years) and the Ministry of Justice (4+ years). A core team of 101-250 is extended through a network of 4,500+ SFIA-mapped associates deployable within 10 days, allowing the firm to compete for large multi-year programmes without proportional fixed-cost expansion. The company holds ISO9001, ISO27001, ISO14001, and Cyber Essentials Plus accreditations and has publicly committed to Net Zero by end of 2026.

The firm is founder-owned and led, with Managing Director Ben Curnock and Executive Chair Dean Harte at the helm, supported by a CTO, CDO, Commercial Director, and functional heads. Customer concentration sits predominantly in UK government, with named logos including the MHRA, MoJ, HM Land Registry, DHSC, Cabinet Office, Department for Business and Trade, Legal Aid Agency, NHS Property Services, Wiltshire Council, and Citizens Advice, alongside private sector work for Hargreaves Lansdown, RSA, Simmons & Simmons, ADP, Sanctuary Housing, Costain, and the University of Bath. Marketing is delivered through a content-led website, thought leadership, industry events, Bristol-based community sponsorships (Bristol Bears, Empire Fighting Chance), and an extensive case study library. There is no evidence of external funding, acquisitions, or geographic expansion beyond the UK domestic market.
