Sound familiar?
AI everywhere, clarity nowhere
Everyone's talking about AI but your team is using it informally, inconsistently, and possibly in ways that expose your business data. You need a plan, not more hype.
IT decisions made reactively
Your business has grown but your technology strategy hasn't kept up. Every IT decision feels like a gamble, but you're not sure if you're overpaying, under-protected, or heading in the wrong direction.
Security and compliance pressure
Clients and partners are asking for Cyber Essentials certification. GDPR obligations are unclear. Your MSP tells you everything is fine, but you're not sure you believe them.
The Fractional vCIO Track
Ongoing senior IT leadership for scaling SMEs — the second service line alongside AI training.
AI Adoption
Practical guidance on where AI genuinely helps your business, and how to implement it safely, compliantly, and in a way that sticks.
IT Strategy & Roadmapping
A clear, prioritised technology roadmap aligned to your business goals. Board-ready, jargon-free, and built around where your business is actually going.
Security & Compliance
Cyber Essentials Plus, GDPR, and M365 hardening. I make sure your business meets the standards your clients, insurers, and supply chains increasingly demand.
Microsoft 365 Optimisation
Most businesses pay for M365 and use a fraction of it. I review your licensing, security configuration, and adoption, and make it work properly.
Vendor & MSP Oversight
Your trusted technical authority in supplier relationships, making sure you're not overpaying, under-served, or locked into contracts that no longer fit.
IT Operations & Projects
Cloud migrations, system implementations, security uplifts. I lead complex IT projects from planning through to delivery, not just advise on them.
A Better Way to Manage IT
Why growing businesses are moving away from traditional models and embracing fractional IT leadership.
How it works
A straightforward process designed to deliver value immediately.
Discovery Call
30 minutes, no chargeWe talk through where your business is, what's working, and where IT is holding you back. No pitch, no obligation.
IT Health Check
Focused half-day reviewA focused review of your technology estate, security posture, and AI readiness. You get a clear, prioritised action plan, regardless of what happens next.
Ongoing Partnership
Monthly retained engagementMost clients move to a monthly retained engagement, with a defined number of days per month where I act as your embedded IT Director. I attend leadership meetings, own the roadmap, and am available when it matters.
