Why this page exists
Search for an AI consultant in Newcastle and the results are not much use. Several are for Newcastle in New South Wales. Several more are directory pages generated for every city in the country, listing agencies that have never been north of Leeds.
Flowing Mind Ltd has traded from Newcastle upon Tyne since 2020. We work across the North East and the rest of the UK, and when being in the room matters, we can be.
The North East has a real concentration of the organisations we are built for: NHS trusts, local authorities, financial services operations, universities and professional firms. All hold data that cannot casually go to an offshore API, and all are under pressure to do something about AI anyway.
What we do here
Services, at published fixed fees
AI readiness assessment
A review of your data, systems, controls and people. You get ranked AI opportunities with costs, risks and a build order, and a written note on what to leave alone.
From £4,500
02Private, self-hosted & air-gapped AI
Open-weight models on your own hardware or in a UK region you control, up to fully air-gapped on NVIDIA DGX or HGX B300. Hosts hardened to DISA STIG and CIS Level 2.
From £18,000
03AI implementation
Retrieval over your documents, agents for variable work, automation inside the systems you already run. Built in your repository and handed over.
From £25,000
04AI agent setup & security
Coding, document and operations agents set up to do real work, each in a sandbox with least privilege, full logging and a kill switch someone has practised.
From £18,000
05AI governance & compliance
The policy, risk register and evidence a regulator, auditor or procurement panel will ask for. So AI proposals get approved, not parked.
From £7,500

Local questions
Are you based in Newcastle?
Yes, in Newcastle upon Tyne since 2020. Worth checking: several results for "AI consultant Newcastle" are for Newcastle in New South Wales, and several more are directory pages listing firms with no presence here.
Do you only work with North East organisations?
No. We work with organisations across the UK, remotely by default. Being local means that when the room matters (a workshop, a governance session, a difficult stakeholder conversation) it is easy to arrange and not on the invoice.
Will you come on site?
In the North East, yes, at no extra cost. Kickoffs, interviews and handovers go better in person. Elsewhere in the UK we travel where it helps, charged at cost.
We are a small North East business, not a bank or a trust. Can you help?
Probably. A readiness assessment is usually the place to start. If your budget is well below our published figures, say so on the first call. We will scope something smaller that is still useful, or tell you where you would be better served.
