About Get Consulting

Get Consulting is me, Gareth Ellis-Thomas. I'm an independent digital transformation and innovation consultant specialising in the non-profit sector. I work directly with organisations or as an associate via some like-minded agencies and companies.

I spent over a decade leading digital, transformation and innovation at a major UK charity, Prostate Cancer UK, as Director of Transformation & Technology and Head of Digital.

Since 2023 I’ve supported a wide range of clients including UNICEF UK, Great Ormond Street Hospital NHS Trust, Surrey County Council, Pancreatic Cancer UK and Drinkaware.

I’m proud to be a founding member of the Charity Change Collective. We are change-makers working with nonprofits to create a resilient, responsive and impactful sector, fit for the digital age.

I’m passionate about how people and technology can work together to make a positive difference to society

I collaborate with leading change and transformation experts

I love working as part of a team of people trying to solve a problem together. That can be a team of two or as part of a bigger team with the support of a wider organisation behind us. I also have a strong network of experienced freelance colleagues I can call on to bring added value to solve particular problems.
