A UK-registered, engineering-led AI consultancy, run from Yorkshire since 2013. This is the hub for our UK work: where we are, how we contract, who we have done it for, and the UK pages for AI consultancy, LLM consultancy, AI agent development and London.
The team at Winder.AI are ready to collaborate with you on your AI project. We tailor our AI solutions to meet your unique needs, allowing you to focus on achieving your strategic objectives. Fill out the form below to get started.
Winder.AI is Winder Research and Development Ltd, an AI consultancy registered in the UK and run from Yorkshire since 2013. We scope, design and ship generative AI, LLM applications, agents, MLOps platforms and production machine learning, and in the UK that work has been for Ofcom, Stability AI and Tractable among others, under the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) where they apply. Rates are published in GBP.
This page is the front door to that work. Each UK page below carries what changes for a UK buyer: the regulator overlay, GBP pricing, UK clients and, for London, on-site delivery. The full method for each service is on the global service pages under services.
One page per thing a UK buyer searches for, plus the two pages every UK engagement leans on. Start with the one that matches the problem.
The general page: how UK AI consultancies compare, the regulator overlay, what AI consultancy costs in the UK and when we will tell you not to hire us.
Retrieval augmented generation, fine-tuning, LLMOps and language-model applications over UK regulated data, on your own infrastructure where residency demands it.
Tool-calling and back-office agents that run under FCA, ICO and MHRA, with the evaluation harness that proves they work.
On-site workshops, board sessions and regulator-facing reviews in the City, Canary Wharf and Tech City, with remote delivery between them and no London premium.
Published rates in GBP, contract shapes and worked examples with prices.
Sector context for the two most regulated UK buyers.
Winder.AI is Winder Research and Development Ltd, a UK limited company with its registered office in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. Phil Winder founded it in 2013 and still runs it from Yorkshire. The engineers he works with most are in London and Italy, with a wider bench in Bristol, Oregon and Dubai. The team is remote-first and always has been, which is why there is no London office and no London premium on our published rates.
On-site days happen where they pay back: discovery workshops, board sessions, integration sprints with your engineers and regulator-facing reviews. Over the last few years that has meant London most often, and it has also meant Leeds, Manchester, Edinburgh and Bristol. Between those days the work runs remotely, so a client in Aberdeen, Cardiff, Belfast or Norwich gets the same engagement as one in the City. The London page exists because London is the one place with enough on-site work to describe separately. We have not built pages for other cities and will not unless the delivery there is different.
Two things about the delivery model matter to UK buyers more than the postcode. Data stays where you need it: we build inside your AWS, Azure or GCP account, in a UK region, or on your own Kubernetes for the air-gapped and sovereign-cloud cases. And contracting is direct, in GBP, or through G-Cloud when a public buyer’s procurement route requires it.
| Client | Sector | What we did | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ofcom | UK communications regulator | Interviewed the major online platforms and wrote the report on how they build and run automated content classifiers | The report is public and increased Ofcom’s internal knowledge of how automated content classification is applied. Ofcom case study |
| Stability AI (London) | Generative AI | Engineering and AI consulting on Stable Audio, a generative music service | Named one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2023, with more than 500,000 generations in its first two months. Stable Audio case study |
| Tractable | UK insurtech | MLOps coaching to prioritise feature stores, model registries and platform investment | By the estimate in the case study, the return exceeded 100 times the consulting fee. Tractable case study |
| A UK consumer-finance lender | Financial services | Reinforcement learning to optimise customer journeys, from research design to a production proof of concept | Deployed on live customer traffic in 2023 for evaluation. Reinforcement learning in finance case study |
| A UK car-finance lender | Financial services | An MLOps audit of the data science practice against regulatory expectations | A written report setting out three areas to improve, benchmarked against MLOps practice elsewhere. MLOps in finance case study |
Two of those clients are unnamed because their case studies are anonymised, and we do not name a client without sign-off. Outside the UK the named list includes Google, Microsoft, Shell, Grafana, Nestlé and Temple University.
The major benefit for us was winning TIME’s Best Invention of 2023! Without Winder.AI’s innovative AI consulting, this success would not have been possible. It resulted in over 500k generations in its first two months.
Case study
We’re pleased to announce the release of Stable Audio, a new generative AI music service. Stable Audio is a collaboration between Stability AI and Winder.AI that leverages state-of-the-art audio diffusion models to generate high-quality music from a text prompt.
Case study

As a finance industry specialist, we understand the unique challenges and regulatory requirements in this sector.
Case study
The UK’s communications regulator, Ofcom, commissioned Winder.AI to produce a report to improve their understanding of the end-to-end processes that support the creation and deployment of automated content classifiers used in moderating online content.
Where we are, how we work in the UK and which page to read next.
Winder.AI is Winder Research and Development Ltd, a UK limited company with its registered office in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. Our founder, Phil Winder, works from Yorkshire; his regular colleagues are in London and Italy, with a wider bench in Bristol, Oregon and Dubai. The team is remote-first. We travel on-site for workshops, board sessions and regulator-facing reviews in London, Leeds, Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol and wherever else the engagement needs, and run delivery remotely between those days.
No, deliberately. Winder.AI is remote-first, which keeps overhead down and is part of why our published rates carry no London premium. Senior engineers travel to London for the on-site days that pay back: workshops, board sessions, integration sprints and regulator-facing reviews. On-site delivery in the City, Canary Wharf and Tech City is described on our London page at winder.ai/locations/uk/london/ai-consultancy/.
No. The UK is our home market and this hub covers it, but we work globally and have shipped engagements across Europe, North America and the Middle East. UK-only engagements are common where data residency, public sector procurement or regulator-facing assurance need a UK-registered supplier contracting in GBP.
