NEED AN ONGOING
AI STRATEGY PARTNER?
If it's bigger than a one-off audit — an AI roadmap across your whole business, evaluating vendors, or a steady advisory relationship as priorities change — let's talk about ongoing strategy support.

BUILDS
Got a process that's eating your time — quoting, scheduling, chasing admin? I build the AI-powered tool that fixes it in four weeks, not four months. Fixed price, working software, no long contract.
- / From £2.5k, fixed price
- / Working prototype in 4 weeks
- / You own the code — no lock-in
WORKFLOW
AUTOMATION
Repetitive tasks that currently consume hours of staff time — quote generation, appointment reminders, follow-up emails, data entry, reporting — automated and integrated with the tools you already use. Built on n8n, Make, or bespoke code.
- / Integrates with your existing tools
- / CRM, email, calendar, accounting
- / You own the workflow — no SaaS lock-in

CHATBOTS, VOICE
AGENTS & WEBSITES
Where a strategy calls for it, I also build customer-facing AI: chatbots trained on your business, an AI voice agent that answers your phone, or an AI-powered website with lead capture built in. Secondary to the strategy work, but built properly when it's the right tool for the job.
- / Trained on your actual business
- / Every enquiry captured, day or night
- / No ongoing management needed
AI TRAINING
FOR TEAMS
Most teams are paying for ChatGPT or Claude and using a fraction of what it can do. Hands-on training built around your actual workflows — no theory, just tools your team will actually use on Monday morning.
- / Built around your real workflows
- / Hands-on, not theoretical
- / ROI visible within a week

NOT AN
AGENCY THAT SELLS
YOU SOFTWARE
YOU DON'T NEED.
You deal directly with me — a consultant with 25 years of commercial experience who understands your business problem before reaching for the technology. Most AI projects fail because they start with the tool, not the outcome.
I work with businesses across Harrogate, North Yorkshire, and the wider UK. I'll tell you honestly whether AI will make a difference for your specific situation — and if it will, I'll build it or help you build it, without the jargon.
LET'S TALK →FAQS.
What does an AI consultant in Harrogate actually do?
Works out where AI and automation will actually make a difference to your business, then either builds it or acts as an independent voice while someone else does. That might be a free audit mapping your automation opportunities, hands-on work fixing a manual process, or ongoing strategy support if the decision ahead is a bigger one.
Do I need to be a tech company to benefit from AI strategy?
Not at all. Most clients are trades, clinics, professional services, and SMEs who've already got AI tools in the business — or know they should have — but nobody's had time to work out what's actually worth doing, or someone impartial to ask before committing money to it.
How quickly can you implement AI for my business?
A free AI audit turns around within 48 hours. A Rapid AI build — a working AI-powered tool solving one specific problem — takes about four weeks. If your needs are bigger and ongoing, that moves into ongoing strategy support, run on a rolling monthly basis. I don't run long discovery phases before anything useful happens.
Are you based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire?
Yes — I'm based in Harrogate at Cardale Park and work with businesses across North Yorkshire, Leeds, York, Knaresborough, and the wider UK. I'm happy to meet local clients in person for an initial conversation, project review, or ongoing check-ins.
