I help UK SMEs work out where the friction is coming from, what needs to change, and how to make it happen.
In most growing businesses, the problems don't show up where they start. Finance ends up fixing data that doesn't flow properly. Operations build workarounds. Spreadsheets creep in to hold things together. The result is a business that still functions, but gets heavier, slower and more expensive as it grows.
I've previously led IT for a £40M+ business, delivering ERP transformation, cloud migration and automation across the operation. I now work with SMEs to bring that same level of thinking and capability, without the overhead of a full-time technology lead.
Every engagement starts here. Whether that means mapping the full technology estate or examining a single process in detail, the goal is the same: understand what's actually happening and what it's costing the business before deciding what to do about it.
Shaping a technology roadmap, running a structured vendor or system selection process, or providing ongoing strategic oversight as a fractional IT Director - staying involved through execution, not just handing over a plan.
Building structured, reliable automations that remove manual effort and connect systems. AI is used selectively, at the points where interpretation, classification or judgement is needed, while the rest of the workflow stays fixed, traceable and predictable.
If any of this sounds familiar, a short conversation is usually enough to work out where the problem sits and what to do next.
