About Optionchain

We are a growing 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 Project Manager 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 professional project and delivery managers in front of the right problems quickly and on flexible terms.Β 

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

Our Values
🎯

Outcomes First

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

🀝

Straightforward

We tell clients what they need to hear, especially when it's difficult.

πŸ”Ž

Honest

We are a transparent business clear on pricing, scope and progress, with no hidden surprises.

⚑

Background

George has well over a decade of experience delivering complex IT, cybersecurity and business transformation projects for some of the UK's largest organisations. Financial services, insurance, government, defence and telecoms, he has 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 Project Manager inside large organisations and on contract he kept seeing the same problem. Businesses needed experienced Project Management 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 Project Managers each with deep expertise in their field 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

πŸ‘₯

Growing Our Team

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

🌍

Expanding Our Reach

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

πŸ“¦

Developing Our Packages

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

🀝

Long-Term Partnerships

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