Who this is for

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from hiring an IT consultant?

Consultants come for a project and leave. I’m on retainer — a continuous relationship. I learn your systems, your team, and your goals, so every decision gets made with context.

What if I need hands-on development too?

I lead a development team that handles builds when you need them. Advisory clients get preferred access and priority pricing on implementation work.

How much does advisory cost?

It depends on the scope and frequency. Book a free call and I’ll give you a clear proposal with no obligation. Every engagement is priced around your needs, not a published menu.

Is there a minimum commitment?

Month-to-month. No lock-in. If I’m not adding value, you stop. Simple as that.

I’m a small business. Is this for me?

Yes, if you’re making meaningful technology decisions. I work with owner-led businesses who need senior guidance without hiring a full-time CTO.

Do you work with businesses outside the UK?

Yes. I serve businesses globally. Pricing is in GBP.
