What We Do

Inclusively designed, tech-first consulting 

Beetroot is an inclusively designed tech-first consulting house based in Manchester.

We help organisations make human-centred technology real through consulting, research, community insight and specialist partnership. 

~ Proudly anchored in the Manchester Tech Ecosystem ~

Our Niche

At Beetroot, we see organisations as living socio‑technical systems, where people, judgement and everyday decisions matter just as much as the technology.

Real change happens when human infrastructure and tools are designed together, strengthening delivery without bureaucracy, and building consistency as a form of care.

It’s how we create systems that work in the real world, sustain themselves beyond any one person, and stay rooted in humanity, values and clarity.

We can create a better human experience.

Technology can be human-centred. 

Our Services

Explore our range of services designed to build capability, sharpen clarity and embed systems and confidence that strengthen your organisation from the inside out.

  • Beetroot delivers specialist, human‑centred support at the critical moments of complex programmes. We co‑deliver inside live, technology‑enabled change through focused interventions, Discovery and Design, reset and recovery, and stabilisation at key inflection points. We strengthen purpose, governance and practical change capability, combining technology, AI, data, research and inclusion expertise to recalibrate programmes where clarity or momentum need reinforcing.

  • We support universities at the decisive moments in an SRS transformation, when momentum is fragile and pressure is high. We stabilise and reset programmes, rebuild clarity, and strengthen the institutional spine that allows the technology to succeed.

    Working alongside Registry, IT and Professional Services, we raise capability in real time — upskilling champions, sharpening change leadership and turning complex decisions into clear, defensible choices. Our work is precise, time‑bound and focused on embedding governance, confidence and practical control, so transformation becomes a confident institutional achievement, not just a technical milestone.

  • We deliver human‑centred tech and change projects built for values‑led organisations. We strengthen internal capability so technology and change reflect your mission, supported by focused interventions, co‑created tools, practical training and governance that puts your people at the centre. We work with your teams to recalibrate systems and embed lasting mechanisms so capability stays with you long after we leave.

  • We give your team the tools, systems and tech to reduce single‑person dependency and free the founder from being the operational hub. Through accessible tools, shared learning and practical training, we build in‑house capability, remove bottlenecks and embed knowledge across the organisation so confidence and control sit with the whole team.

From Our Clients

  • Emma Eaton

    Executive Director, Big Life Group

    Big Life Group was implementing an ambitious technology roadmap. Beetroot Consulting helped us think strategically about our approach to this, and identify the capabilities required to do this; consider whether we had these in‑house and the type of role we would need to recruit to fill any capability gaps. Beetroot Consulting’s expertise was valuable throughout the recruitment process, from inputting into Job Descriptions and person specs to sitting on interview panels.”

  • Shân Wareing

    Middlesex University Vice Chancellor & CEO (Previously University of Northampton)

    ‘Beetroot was brought in at a time when the programme was very behind and had multiple points of failure. It was transformative within a month or two, we went from having poor visibility, morale, issues with staff performance and a general lack of confidence in the programme to a programme that was performing well, on track to delivery, staff performing and happy and people having faith in the programme.

    Beetroot is really impressive, high energy, professional, clear and expert. They have strong experience within the sector, meaning a good understanding of what needs to happen and how this can be done effectively.’

  • Karen Omisore ACIB, MBA, MSc

    Executive Director, Student Administration and Academic Affairs

    ‘I couldn’t be prouder of everything the team achieved with the programme. Beetroots leadership and vision have not only driven incredible technical and strategic advancements but also fostered a culture of collaboration and innovation that will continue to resonate long after their departure.

    The ability to bring out the best in the team around Beetroot is truly remarkable. I’m confident that the impact will continue to inspire the team.

    I know it's in great hands as they passes the torch.’
