Thruxton & Kendall
Build it right.Then keep it right.
Technology leadership for companies that build physical things. We get your plant, lab or fleet ready to run, then stay on.
Called in when everything changes
Four moments. Four problems.
One call.
New plant or expansion
A typical situation
“The plant opens in 9 months and nobody owns the network, systems or floor connectivity.”
The goalOpen on schedule with IT and the plant floor ready, so production isn’t waiting on technology.
Fragmented technology ownership
A typical situation
“IT is a few vendors and one overworked person. Nobody owns the decisions, and we have outgrown it.”
The goalA clear owner for each technology decision, a 12-month roadmap, and a clean handoff when you hire.
Acquisition or split
A typical situation
“We bought a company, or we are splitting one off, and every system and report is different. We can’t see the whole business.”
The goalA day-one-to-day-90 plan to move each business onto common systems and data with as little disruption to operations as possible.
Compliance readiness
A typical situation
“A customer wants CMMC and we don’t know our scope, gaps or cost.”
The goalA scoped boundary, a gap list and a costed roadmap, so you are ready when the assessor arrives. The assessor, not T&K, certifies.
How it works
From project to partner.
- Assess it
A fixed-fee Two-Week Assessment finds what will break and what to decide first, and ends in a 90-day plan.
- Scope it
A fixed scope and price, agreed in writing before any work starts.
- Solve it
We deliver the project, working alongside your team.
- Stay on
An optional advisory seat, so a senior thought partner is still there after the work ships.
Operator credibility
Built inside complex operations. Now working alongside yours.
Built by an enterprise technology operator who has led technology through hypergrowth, international expansion, and regulated, engineering-heavy environments within companies like Rivian and Archer Aviation.
Experience reflects my previous roles, not T&K client engagements.
Why T&K
We don’t fit in a box. That’s the point.
Consultancies typically deliver and move on. vCIOs typically stay, but big projects often sit outside the retainer. We kept the useful half of each.
Traditional consulting A big proposal, a bigger team
vCIO A steady monthly retainer
Thruxton & Kendall A fixed scope, in writing
We work alongside your MSP and IT team, not around them.
Tell us what is changing. We will tell you what to do first.
