AI AUTOMATION
& ADOPTION

The average SME wastes 12+ hours a week on tasks AI can handle — booking confirmations, customer FAQs, lead follow-up, quoting, scheduling. We build the automation that runs while you sleep, cuts your admin overhead, and never calls in sick.

  • / SAVE 10+ HOURS/WEEK ON ADMIN
  • / RESPOND TO LEADS IN SECONDS, NOT HOURS
  • / NEVER MISS AN ENQUIRY AGAIN

BESPOKE
DEVELOPMENT

Off-the-shelf software makes your business look and work like everyone else's. We build exactly what you need — from a quote tool that cuts admin from 45 minutes to 5, to a multi-user platform handling thousands of bookings. You own the code, there's no lock-in.

  • / CUT ADMIN TIME BY UP TO 90%
  • / OWN YOUR CODE — NO VENDOR LOCK-IN
  • / LIVE IN WEEKS, NOT MONTHS

AI FOR
BUSINESS USERS

Your team is paying for Claude, Copilot, or ChatGPT and using maybe 10% of what it can do. One day of proper training saves the average employee 3–4 hours per week. Hands-on sessions built around your actual workflows — no theory, just immediate time savings.

  • / 3–4 HRS/WEEK SAVED PER TEAM MEMBER
  • / TRAINING BUILT AROUND YOUR WORKFLOWS
  • / ROI VISIBLE WITHIN ONE WEEK

FRACTIONAL
CTO

A full-time CTO costs £100k+/year. A bad technology decision can cost far more. For growing businesses that need senior technical leadership without the full-time overhead — technology selection, migrations, managing dev teams, and sitting at the table when it matters.

  • / SENIOR EXPERTISE WITHOUT THE SENIOR HIRE
  • / FROM £395/MO ON A ROLLING BASIS
  • / AVAILABLE FOR BOARD MEETINGS & DUE DILIGENCE

ABOUT_06

GARETH
SHAW.

I'm not an agency of 50 people you'll never speak to. I'm a single point of contact with 25 years of real commercial and financial experience across a wide range of sectors — finance, sport, media, and SMEs.

That corporate background means I think commercially first and technically second. Every solution I build has a business case behind it. I understand P&Ls, cost reduction, efficiency metrics, and what a business actually cares about — because I've been in those situations.

You'll deal directly with me, from initial conversation to final delivery. No account managers, no offshore outsourcing, no briefing someone who briefs someone else. Just fast, high-quality work with a partner who genuinely understands your challenges.
