Helping UK businesses get more from their systems, data and AI

Small Business Technology Adviser — My Experience

"Technology only works for your business when your data is clean, your systems are connected, and your processes are understood. I've spent 25 years building exactly those foundations for UK businesses."

For over 25 years I've been the person my clients call when their technology isn't working the way it should. Disconnected systems, unreliable data, manual processes that should have been automated years ago, and more recently businesses trying to work out where AI fits in — these are the problems I solve every day. That combination of breadth and hands-on experience is what a small business needs from a technology adviser: someone who understands the whole picture, not just one corner of it.
