The AI Consultancy: AI and Claude specialists in London

The AI Consultancy is a London-based AI consultancy specialising in Claude and Anthropic's AI tools, helping UK SMEs, scaleups, and enterprise clients adopt Claude and other AI tools in practical, measurable ways. Trading as The AI Consultancy (London) Ltd (company number 16138782), the firm works from offices in Westminster, London and Chelmsford, Essex, delivering AI strategy, implementation, and training.

We focus on helping UK organisations deploy Claude, Anthropic's enterprise AI assistant, as a practical alternative to legacy software and manual workflows. The Claude Certified Architect credential is held across our team, alongside our AWS, Google Cloud, and Nvidia certifications. Our advice stays vendor-neutral: every engagement is tied to a measurable business outcome, and we will say so when AI is not the right answer.

Our delivery covers three areas: AI strategy and consulting, AI training, and bespoke solutions development. For organisations adopting Claude, that includes hands-on Claude implementation and ongoing Claude consulting. For firms that need executive-level AI ownership without a full-time hire, our Fractional Chief AI Officer service line provides senior AI leadership on a part-time basis, and our published case studies set out the measurable outcomes we have delivered.

What do we do?

Three integrated service areas covering the full AI adoption lifecycle.

AI Training and Education

We run structured training programmes for teams at every level, from board-level AI literacy sessions to hands-on workshops for operational staff. Participants leave with practical skills they can apply immediately, not theoretical knowledge they need to translate.

AI Strategy and Consulting

We help organisations define where AI fits within their operations and build a costed, phased roadmap to get there. This includes readiness assessments, vendor evaluation, governance frameworks, and implementation planning.

AI Solutions Development

We design, build, and deploy AI solutions: chatbots, voice AI, agentic workflows, lead generation systems, and custom automation. Every solution is integrated into your existing technology stack and handed over with full documentation and training.

What is our approach?

We are technology-agnostic. We do not resell a single vendor's platform or push a preferred toolset. Our recommendations are based on what solves the business problem most effectively, whether that means open-source models, cloud AI services, or a custom build.

Every engagement runs through three structured phases: discovery, strategy, and implementation. We assess your data, processes, team capabilities, and commercial objectives before recommending anything. This avoids the common pattern of investing in AI tools that do not fit the organisation's actual needs.

We measure success by business outcomes: costs reduced, revenue generated, time saved, errors prevented. If an AI initiative cannot be tied to a measurable result, we will tell you before you invest.

Why do we specialise in Claude?

Our primary strategic focus for 2026 is helping UK businesses adopt Claude, Anthropic's enterprise AI assistant, as a practical replacement for legacy software and manual workflows. Multiple consultants on our team hold the Claude Certified Architect credential, alongside our AWS, Google Cloud, and Nvidia certifications. That depth in Claude is why we focus on it for UK deployments.

For organisations moving to Claude, we deliver:

  • Claude deployment and installation across teams and enterprise accounts
  • AI training, including on-site workshops for business and technical staff
  • LLM installs and configuration for team and enterprise licences
  • Bespoke Claude-based solutions that replace or augment existing software

We work with both in-house specialists and certified subcontractors so that every engagement is staffed with the right technical and commercial experience. The goal is to reduce dependency on legacy software and give teams genuine, day-to-day fluency in Claude.

Meet the team behind The AI Consultancy

The work is delivered by a small core team of in-house specialists, supported by a vetted network of Claude Certified Architects who join engagements as scope requires. Several of our consultants hold Claude Certified Architect status alongside cloud and platform certifications.

Dee Khabra

Founder & Lead Strategist

Claude Certified Architect; AWS Certified Solutions Architect

Dee Khabra founded The AI Consultancy and leads its strategy and client engagements. As a Claude Certified Architect and AWS Certified Solutions Architect, Dee works at the point where commercial objectives meet technical feasibility, translating business problems into scoped, costed AI programmes. The focus is on matching AI adoption to measurable outcomes rather than technology for its own sake. Dee is typically engaged on Claude readiness assessments, use-case prioritisation, and board-level advisory for UK SMEs and mid-market firms deciding where and whether to adopt Claude.

Jay Matharu

Lead CCA Installer

Claude Certified Architect; Google Cloud Certified

Jay Matharu is the consultancy's lead Claude Certified Architect installer, responsible for hands-on Claude deployment and configuration across client engagements. A Claude Certified Architect and Google Cloud Certified practitioner, Jay handles the technical delivery end of Claude rollouts: tenancy setup, integrations, and the engineering review work that keeps deployments production-ready. Jay is the named engineer on the consultancy's AI App Production Clinic. Typical engagements span Claude installations for team and enterprise accounts, cloud architecture, and pre-launch engineering review of applications built with AI coding tools.

Sarah Bonnington

SME Systems Analyst and AI Training Lead

Systems analyst and API specialist focused on SME operations. Leads AI training and adoption programmes for small and medium businesses, including on-site workshops and team enablement.

Michelle Overton

Senior Administrator

Dave Jenkins

Senior Engineer

Claude Certified Architect; AWS Certified; Nvidia Certified

Dave Jenkins is a senior engineer holding Claude Certified Architect, AWS, and Nvidia certifications. Dave works on the build and integration side of client engagements, with particular depth in GPU-accelerated workloads and the infrastructure layer beneath applied AI systems. The combination of Claude, AWS, and Nvidia credentials supports engagements that run from model integration through to performance-sensitive deployment. Dave is typically engaged on engineering delivery for Claude implementations, systems integration, and the technically demanding builds where infrastructure and model behaviour have to be tuned together.

Certified delivery network

Beyond the core team, The AI Consultancy maintains a vetted network of Claude Certified Architects who join engagements on a project-by-project basis. This is quality-controlled capacity rather than open-ended outsourcing: every subcontractor in the network has passed the Claude Certified Architect examination and been validated on real client work, not on credentials alone.

The model lets us scale a project team up or down to match scope without carrying fixed overhead, while keeping a consistent standard of delivery. When a network practitioner is assigned to an engagement, they work to the same governance, documentation, and review standards as the core team, and a named core consultant retains accountability for the work. This is how we staff larger or specialised engagements without diluting quality or relying on unverified contractors.

What credentials do we hold?

Our team holds professional certifications across Anthropic Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT, and three major cloud and AI platforms, ensuring we deliver to a verified standard.
