Senior solution architecture, from boardroom decisions to production delivery.
Unicorn Consultants is a UK consultancy built on 25+ years of hands-on experience designing, modernising, and delivering complex technology platforms across government, public-sector, and regulated enterprise environments.
Who we are
A senior solution architect-led practice with a track record spanning cloud transformation, secure infrastructure, enterprise integration, DevSecOps, monitoring at scale, artificial intelligence, and communications platforms. We have been the design authority on nationally significant programmes and the extra pair of expert hands on two-day rescue jobs — and we treat both with the same care.
What we value
- Clarity, not jargon — confidence, not noise
- Automation-first thinking
- Systems designed for longevity and handover
- Knowledge transfer as part of every engagement
- Respect for your teams and their time
Where we’ve delivered.
Public sector & government — cloud-first infrastructure for nationally significant programmes, delivered within formal governance and security standards.
Healthcare — secure infrastructure, PKI, and identity work for clinical environments where downtime and risk carry real consequences.
Regulated enterprise — managed service providers, financial services, utilities, and aviation: monitoring, automation, and platforms at serious scale.
Recent lead architecture experience.
Most recently, our lead architect completed a six-year engagement as Lead Solution Architect on the Welsh Government EID Cymru programme: a nationally significant, cloud-first livestock identification and traceability platform.
- End-to-end solution architecture across three Microsoft Azure subscriptions.
- Technical direction for a cross-functional team of more than 20 developers, DBAs, analysts, and specialists.
- Technical authority for senior stakeholders, governance groups, and programme boards.
How we work
We embed with your team, align on outcomes, and deliver in focused, iterative cycles that reduce risk. Everything we build is documented and handed over — we measure success by what still works after we’ve gone.
- Discovery, audits, and roadmap creation
- Architecture, build, and migration delivery
- AI, cloud, security, and communications design
- Documentation, training, and enablement
