Michael Guy

Kingsbury Consulting is a Leeds-based digital strategy and governance practice working with charities, membership bodies, awarding organisations, and social enterprises across the UK. With over a decade spent in client strategy roles at digital agencies, Mike brings a precise understanding of how strategic advice gets packaged, sold, and often misdirected towards organisations that already have the internal resources to deliver change. Kingsbury was built to change that equation: to make the quality of thinking that larger organisations take for granted available to the third-sector bodies that need it most and can least afford to go without it. His work is structured around two proprietary frameworks - ARC, a non-linear digital maturity diagnostic, and CORE, a prioritisation and roadmapping methodology that sequences investment decisions around evidence rather than appetite. Together they underpin a discovery-first approach that establishes how an organisation actually works before any system or supplier is ever recommended. Kingsbury works across data governance, GDPR compliance, digital accessibility, and AI policy, with a deliberate focus on organisations in the £1-5m income band, where decisions carry real consequence, the margin for error is thin, and the case for independent, unconflicted strategic advice is strongest.
