Agreement to deploy the Jylo AI platform

Gateley announces agreement to deploy the Jylo platform to accelerate its use of Artificial Intelligence across the Group.

• Gateley, the leading professional services group, is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement to deploy the Jylo AI platform across the Group, accelerating and extending its use of Artificial Intelligence.
• This represents the latest stage of the Group's ongoing programme of investment in systems and is one of a number of measures being implemented to accelerate growth and margin expansion.
• The Jylo platform gives Gateley secure and controlled access to a range of leading AI technologies from well-established providers. Rather than being tied to a single AI supplier, this approach allows the Group to take advantage of improvements as the technology continues to evolve, while maintaining flexibility, resilience and clear oversight over how AI is used across the business. The platform will operate within robust governance, quality standards and professional review frameworks, ensuring the highest quality service to our clients.

Jylo is a leading AI platform for professional services businesses. The Group's decision follows a six-month structured evaluation and pilot programme and represents an important milestone in Gateley's ongoing investment in the systems, capabilities and people that support sustainable growth and long‑term value creation.

Jylo provides a secure platform which enables Gateley's professionals to build and use repeatable playbooks and workflows across a range of tasks. The platform is intended to augment and accelerate client delivery. Deployment will drive efficiency in repeatable processes and embed best practice approaches across the Group, thereby enabling our people to focus more of their time on the higher value advisory work they are known for.

The agreement with Jylo represents the next step within our existing wider AI investment and development programme. The Group has adopted a layered approach to AI capability: deploying AI tools across day‑to‑day productivity; whilst using specialist AI workflow platforms where scale, controls and repeatability are required. The Group also continues to invest in targeted internal development where bespoke solutions are needed for specific client or operational use cases. In the same way that Gateley has been investing to strengthen its diversified platform model over time, the adoption of Jylo is intended to drive efficiency and capability across the business, recognising that the extent of AI impact will vary across different legal and consultancy service lines.

Gateley also believes that investing in AI capability is an investment in its people. The Group's approach is focused on enabling colleagues to develop digital fluency and to use AI tools to reduce administrative burden, improve consistency of output and support professional judgement - helping teams to deliver the outcomes that clients value while supporting talent development, engagement and retention across the Group.

Rod Waldie, Chief Executive Officer of Gateley, said:

"AI creates a significant opportunity to enhance the way in which we deliver our services - improving speed, consistency and insight, whilst enabling our people to focus more of their time on higher‑value, high‑trust advisory work. We will embed AI responsibly into the way we work - with appropriate governance, quality assurance and professional oversight.

"This and other investments we have made in recent years are focused on enhancing Group capacity, efficiency and capability. They are key to building further on our already strong organic revenue growth track record and supporting the Group's long‑term profitable growth and resilience.

"This agreement with Jylo complements our wider programme of systems and operational improvement. We see AI as an opportunity to enhance client outcomes, strengthen relationships and support sustainable growth across our diversified Group."
