Made Tech, the public sector technology delivery experts, continues to support its rapid growth and commitment to transformation with the appointment of James Buckley as head of its digital transformation practice.

With over 30 years of experience in the public sector delivering complex digital transformation across central government, local government and health projects, and having spent the last year as digital transformation principal at Made Tech, James is positioned to lead the integrated and expanded transformation practice.

Before joining Made Tech in 2021, James held digital transformation roles in the Crown Commercial Service and Metropolitan Police together with consultancy on front line and major programme delivery and public sector policy development.

At Made Tech, James has helped customers including the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC), and the Department for International Trade (DIT) to navigate large and complex transformation projects by overcoming any barriers of existing infrastructure, providing organisational support and integrating improved digital and technology skills in public sector organisations.

James Buckley, head of digital transformation at Made Tech said: “Transformation can be a huge upheaval for organisations, which I’ve experienced first-hand during my years of working in the public sector. Since joining Made Tech I’ve been in the privileged position of using this knowledge to help guide others through the process of digital transformation in the most efficient and least disruptive way possible.

“I am excited to now lead the new and distinct digital transformation practice at Made Tech, building on our robust consultancy and capabilities in modernising legacy applications and work practices to offer an integrated transformation practice giving customers full end-to-end support in their journey of transformation.”

Rory MacDonald, CEO at Made Tech said: “James’s wealth of knowledge and expertise in digital transformation in the public sector aligns with our determination to provide the very best outcomes possible for our customers. By understanding the needs of the organisations we work with, we can deliver both consultancy and services that achieve the best results in a time of organisational change.”
