Lucas Kennedy is a Workday Services (Deployment/AMS/Staffing) and Sales Partner, privately owned, UK based, with nearshore delivery. We work for you: with the SI, with Workday, focused on you.
End-to-end expertise across the full Workday landscape.
Integrated, aligned and built around your people.
AMS across HCM, Payroll, Financials, Adaptive Planning and Integrations. Named UK and nearshore consultants, bought monthly, not a ticket queue, not a call-centre.
Embedded partner for enterprise, managed support, or targeted intervention.
Cover that matches how your business actually runs, with extended-hours options.
Structured onboarding with no gap in service, full access and SLAs agreed.
Release coverage, specialist depth and holiday resilience an internal team can’t hold alone.
Defined advisory projects, Phase Zero, AI readiness assessments and optimisation. Clear deliverables, clear timeline.
Ongoing advisory, project augmentation and evolving scope. Experienced practitioners, not junior resource.
Named consultants, agreed service levels, release management and a continuous-improvement backlog.
We become your customer-side team, managing the SI, governing delivery and keeping the programme on track.
We’ll give you a straight answer about which service line is the right starting point.
Pre-decision, mid-implementation, optimising, or preparing for AI, tell us where you are and we’ll give you a straight answer.
We have no software to resell, so the advice stays honest. We’d rather tell you what you actually need than sell you what we’d like to.
We sit on your side of the table, with no software to resell. Fixed price for a defined piece of work, or time and materials while the question is still forming.
Our leaders have sat on the client side of a Workday programme, worked inside Workday partners, and worked for Workday themselves. That’s judgement built from every seat at the table.
“The advisory team gave us honest, direct guidance. They didn’t oversell the technology.”
Professional Services
Recommendations are everywhere. Delivery is rare. We deploy Workday end to end, working as one team with our Advisory practice, with resources across the UK and EMEA and expertise from every side of the table — customer, partner and Workday itself.
We lead delivery end to end — design, build, integrate, test and go-live — working as one team with our Advisory practice, so the strategy you signed off on is the delivery you get. Backed by consultants who’ve deployed Workday from every seat: as the customer, the partner, and Workday.
Our team spans the UK and EMEA with deep bench strength. Ex-Workday, ex-partner and customer-side experience, certified across HCM, Financials, Payroll, Adaptive Planning and integrations.
“They made calls that cost them time, not us. That’s when we knew they were actually on our side.”
Global Financial Services
Go-live is the start of the return, not the end of the project. Most partners are gone before real value shows up.
We do the work with your team, not to one side of it. Fixed price for a defined optimisation, or day rate while the backlog is still forming.
At Jupiter Asset Management, after Adaptive Planning.
“They made sure our finance team genuinely owned it after go-live.”
Mid-Market Business
Support from the people who built it. UK-based with nearshore support from Madrid, and it already knows your configuration.
Named consultants and agreed service levels, monthly. Scale the service up or down as your tenant and your team change.
Measured across engagements.
“When I call, I speak to someone who already knows the answer.”
Technology Company
Sometimes you need people rather than a project. Fifteen years of Workday recruitment, and a network we use ourselves.
Permanent, contract or FTC placement, or day-rate augmentation. We flex to how you need to hire.
Permanent, contract and FTC across UK, EMEA and North America.
“I worked closely with Lucas Kennedy during the Workday Services Programme at bp and they helped me hugely. They were proactive, they cared and we ended up with 35 of the team via LK recommendations. Truly excellent!”
