ABOUT BAILEY & ASSOCIATES
Fractional CIO & IT Strategy for UK Manufacturers
Bailey & Associates offers fractional CIO and IT Director services tailored specifically for UK manufacturers. We provide experienced IT leadership on a retainer basis, typically ranging from 2 to 8 days each month, enabling small to mid-sized manufacturers to receive essential technology strategy support without the expense of a full-time employee. Our primary areas of expertise include ERP selection and implementation oversight, IT-OT integration, Industry 4.0 readiness, cybersecurity governance in manufacturing settings, as well as vendor and technology management. We assist manufacturers with revenues between £5M and £100M and employee counts of 50 to 500, ensuring their technology investments align with their operational objectives. Our team is led by David Bailey, a manufacturing IT expert with over 15 years of experience, specializing in linking shop floor operational technology (including PLCs, SCADA, and MES) with enterprise IT systems. Retainer fees begin at £2,000 per month, significantly less than the £120,000+ yearly expense of a full-time IT Director. Based in Chester, we support manufacturers throughout the UK, including the North West, Midlands, and other regions nationwide.

About the Team
OUR STORY
Our Journey Bailey & Associates was established by David Bailey, who has over 15 years of experience in IT leadership within the UK manufacturing sector. During his tenure as IT Director for various manufacturers, David recognized that small and mid-sized companies were often inadequately supported—too big to operate without an IT strategy but too small to warrant a full-time executive position. We address this need by offering fractional CIO services that provide advanced, enterprise-level insights to emerging manufacturers.
