AI consulting in the UK — for organisations that need one bottleneck unlocked, not a deck.
Xamun is an AI transformation company headquartered in London. Strategy, intelligence and software delivery — the three things every UK AI consultancy outsources to someone else — all under one roof. UK partners lead the engagement; the Manila Software Factory builds. We find the one operation capping your growth, measure what it costs today, and fix it until the number moves.

Every UK AI consultancy gives you half a solution.
The big-four firms hand you a strategy. The IT services firms build what you spec. Neither stays accountable for whether the outcome actually moves. The result is the AI transformation gap UK boards and CFOs know too well: delivered on time and on budget, and nothing moved.
UK strategy. Philippines delivery. One accountable team.
The structural reason Xamun wins where pure UK consultancies stall: we hold the full loop. Strategy is led from London. Software is built in Manila. Both teams answer to the same engagement partner. Both report against the same business metric.
Find the one operation capping growth
A short diagnostic, led from London and powered by Xamun Intelligence reading your ops, finance and customer data. We name the bottleneck, measure what it costs you today — cycle time, error rate, throughput — and agree the number that means it's solved. Not sure which operation it is? We start with a constraint inventory and rank it.
Output: the bottleneck named, the number measured, the door chosen
The Software Factory builds what unlocks it
We build the software that unlocks the bottleneck — typically live within weeks — instrumented to the number from day one. UK-side product ownership; PH-side engineering muscle; FCA and ICO/UK GDPR obligations designed in, not bolted on. What the solution turns out to be is our problem; you never see a change request.
Output: working software in production, instrumented to the number
Done is when the number holds
Done is when the number holds unattended for the agreed period, with a person only at a real judgement fork — and the audit trail an FCA or ICO reviewer would expect is already there. Then we look downstream, so the rest of the business can absorb the new capacity. For three years after done, if the number falls, we re-engineer whatever it takes to bring it back — free, whatever the cause.
Output: the number, held — and three years, No Questions
A UK AI consulting firm with an actual London team.
Xamun's UK office is at 85 Great Portland Street, London W1W 7LT — five minutes from Oxford Circus, in the heart of Fitzrovia. Every UK engagement is led by a UK-based partner. Discovery sessions happen in person at the London office or at your site. Quarterly business reviews are face-to-face.
Unlike pure-play offshore firms, we do not run UK clients through a Manila account manager. Unlike pure-play UK consultancies, we do not pretend to have delivery capacity we then subcontract to three other firms. The Manila Software Factory is part of Xamun, not a partner — same payroll, same standards, same culture.

Sectors where the AI transformation case is already proven.
Two doors. No quote-per-headcount theatre.
UK engagements at Xamun are priced against the number, not hours. Discovery tells you which door the bottleneck goes through.
Usage
A small fee per transaction the system processes — per booking made, renewal issued, claim settled. It starts the day the number moves. Nothing is billed before that.
- No upfront CAPEX — we carry the whole cost of getting to done
- We build, run and tune it inside your operation
- A fraction of the value each transaction creates — card processing, not a retainer
- If the system isn't running, you aren't paying
Licence
One number for the bottleneck, for organisations that must own and operate what they buy. Every scope change on the way to done is free.
- Full source delivered under a source-available licence
- Milestones tied to the number moving, not to deliverables
- No change requests, no timesheets, no rework line
- The final payment is due only at done
Neither door has a line for hours, seats or change requests. Ask us for our rate card and we'll tell you the same thing: we don't have one. Both doors carry the same promise — three years, no questions.
How we price engagements →Questions UK CFOs actually ask.
What does an AI consulting engagement with Xamun look like in the UK?
Engagements start with a half-day Discovery in London. We name the one operation capping your growth, measure what it costs you today — cycle time, error rate, throughput — agree the number that means it is solved, and tell you which door it goes through: Usage or Licence. Then we build and launch the software that unlocks it, typically live within weeks, and hold it: done is when the number holds unattended, and for three years after that, if it slips, we re-engineer free, whatever the cause.
How is Xamun different from a UK AI consultancy like EY, Protiviti or ANS?
Traditional UK AI consultancies hand you a deck and leave you to find a separate IT services firm to build it. Xamun does both — UK strategy from the London office, plus Philippines-based engineering through the Software Factory. One commercial relationship; one accountable team; outcomes governed against a business metric, not project milestones.
Where is Xamun based in the UK?
Xamun's UK office is at 85 Great Portland Street, London W1W 7LT. Strategy, intelligence and client-facing work happen here; delivery is augmented from the Manila Software Factory. UK-based partners lead every engagement.
What size of UK business is Xamun built for?
Enterprise, government and segment-leading companies — and mid-market businesses that lead their segment. What matters is not size but whether there is one core operation whose number is capping growth, and an appetite for a supplier who carries the delivery risk. Large enough to feel the cost of standing still, and able to act once Discovery has named the bottleneck. We are not built for early-stage startups.
How much does AI consulting from Xamun cost in the UK?
A Discovery session runs half a day. After that there are two doors. Usage: a small fee per transaction the system processes, starting the day the operation runs through the system — no upfront CAPEX. Licence: one capital fee for the bottleneck, full source delivered under a source-available licence, final payment at done. Neither has a line for hours, seats or change requests; we do not have a rate card.
Is delivery from the Philippines a risk for a UK regulated business?
No — and we treat the question as legitimate. The Manila Software Factory operates under the same security, compliance and code-review regime as the UK side. For FCA-regulated UK clients, IP and data residency arrangements are set up before kick-off. Several of our UK engagements run under FCA-adjacent governance with zero PH-side data egress.
We build it, run it with your team — and you pay per transaction processed.
No upfront CAPEX — we invest the build ourselves. From go-live, you pay a small toll per application, delivery or booking the system processes: a small fraction of the value each one creates. A slow month means a small invoice; if it doesn’t run, you don’t pay.
We’re not a vendor shipping software into your operation. For the operation we run, we’re part of your company — in your numbers every week, paid only as they move. Where counts like these aren’t the honest measure, or you must own what you buy, the Licence door applies instead: one capital fee for the bottleneck, full source delivered, final payment at done. The accountability doesn’t change, only how you pay.
Book the London Discovery. See it running on your business.
Half a day. In our Fitzrovia office or on your site. A short Discovery names the bottleneck, measures the number, and tells you which door it goes through — and you'll meet the people who'll be inside your operation.
