A Brief History

2010 – Incorporated as “CTO Plus Ltd”

An early pioneer of ‘fractional‘ or ‘Gig-Economy‘ Consulting, CTO Plus was launched to provide high end technology advisory services to large and small enterprises on a temporary or part-time basis.

2011 – The Strategy & Architecture Group

With the rise in popularity of IT Strategy & Enterprise Architecture, together with a client base increasingly keen to engage experts and teams rather than egos and individuals, we set about building the best S&A Consulting, Training and Resourcing business in the UK.

2013 – A Firm of Firms

Building on our position as a leader in Strategy & Architecture, we began to widen our capabilities by adopting a stronger partnering model, working with a select number of independent firms and delivering our expertise through brands such as Top4 Consulting Firms and Systems Integrators.

2015 – The S&A Group

By 2015, The Strategy & Architecture Group was delivering a much wider spectrum of consulting, project delivery, IT, Business & Digital Transformation initiatvies across public and private sectors. The brand became much more widely known as The S&A Group, reflecting our retained expertise in Strategy & Architecture but also the acceptance that the business had well outgrown its original S&A offerings. By 2015, S&A were were leading a range of client solutions from small assignments to £100m whole of business transformations.

 

2020 – S&A Resourcing Solutions Ltd

Unlike interims providers, S&A deliver services, solutions and contracted outcomes at our risk. However, to ensure we achieve the very best outcomes for our clients we sometimes use PSC (Private Service Companies) within our projects. Having worked extensively across the public sector since the IR35/Off-payroll legislation changes were introduced in 2017, we refined our business model to prepare for the private sector legislation in April 2020.  Recognising our unique position in the UK consulting market, we worked with our clients, lawyers, tax consultants and government to launch an additional company, within The S&A Group, to manage inside-IR35 resource delivery alongside our consulting business.
