ABOUT US

BUILT ON DISCIPLINE. DRIVEN BY DELIVERY.

Confi was created to bring clarity, control and confidence back to IT delivery.

In a space crowded with overcomplicated frameworks and noise, we focus on what matters: leading programmes with structure, direction and accountability, especially under pressure.

Our founder, Simon Coulton, began his career in the British Army before moving into senior delivery roles across the NHS and Ministry of Defence. That mix of operational discipline and public sector insight shapes the calm, outcome-focused leadership Confi is known for today.

 

We support public and private sector organisations through two clear routes:

Core Services

For organisations needing hands-on delivery leadership and specialist capability across complex technology and change:

  • Portfolio, Programme & Project Management (P3M): Experienced leadership to plan and deliver complex change with control.

  • P3 Governance: Proportionate, effective oversight that keeps programmes aligned and risk-managed.

  • Programme Assurance: Independent, evidence-based reviews to protect investment and surface risks early.

  • Programme Recovery & Acceleration: Rapid intervention to stabilise and restart failing or delayed programmes.

  • Business Change & Communications: Driving adoption with clear strategy, engagement and training.

  • Cloud Transformation: Secure, practical cloud strategy, migration and operating model design.

  • Exit & Transition Management: Smooth, low-risk transition from legacy suppliers and services.

  • Service Management: ITIL-aligned service models that keep operations stable and user-focused.

Subscriptions

For leaders who want ongoing oversight and support without adding permanent headcount:

  • Delivery Assurance Subscription: Independent health checks, reporting and assurance to keep projects on track.

  • Fractional Project Director: Senior delivery leadership and escalation support when you need it.

 

Whether you’re starting fresh, stabilising a programme, rebuilding trust in delivery, or protecting outcomes month after month, Confi provides the structure and leadership to get it done, properly.

Clear scope. Strong direction. Delivery you can rely on.

​A MESSAGE FROM SIMON COULTON, FOUNDER OF CONFI CONSULTANCY LTD

Thanks for taking the time to learn more about Confi.

I started this business because I saw the same thing happening again and again: over-engineered solutions, unclear accountability and delivery teams spinning their wheels while leadership buried itself in slides and reports.

I’ve worked across defence, healthcare and central government, including over a decade managing high-value IT infrastructure programmes in secure, high-stakes environments. What I learned is simple: delivery only happens when someone takes clear ownership.

Confi was built to do just that, to step in when there’s pressure to perform, when expectations are real and when things can’t be allowed to slip. Our approach is straightforward: clear scope, structured leadership and steady delivery. We focus on aligning people, managing complexity and giving senior stakeholders confidence that the job is in hand.

But I didn’t build Confi to be about one person. The goal has always been to grow a consultancy of experienced professionals who take delivery seriously, people who lead with clarity, communicate honestly and manage through challenge without creating drama. That’s what clients want. Not noise. Not theatre. Just real progress, built on trust and control.

Today, Confi delivers through eight specialist service areas, from programme management and governance to assurance, recovery, cloud transformation and service management, plus flexible subscriptions that give leaders access to delivery oversight when they need it.

 

Across every engagement, we stay focused on what matters: results, professionalism and integrity under pressure.

 

If that sounds like the kind of partner you want in the room, let’s talk.

You can also connect with me here on LinkedIn if you’d like to talk about delivery done properly.​​
