Taking on AI and automation enquiries
Less busywork. More time for what matters.
I help UK businesses find repetitive work that can be simplified with AI, automation and better connected systems. We start with one real workflow, work out where time is going, and make a practical improvement your team can use.

Where we can start
Give people time back
from repetitive work.
The best opportunities are specific tasks your team repeats often. Sometimes a simple automation is enough; sometimes AI can help with the parts that need reading, sorting or drafting.
Prepare first drafts
Help staff draft replies, summaries or internal documents for a person to review.
Connect the tools you use
Reduce copying between forms, spreadsheets, CRM, email and other business systems.
Find the next opportunity
Map a manual process, weigh the options and choose a sensible first improvement.
Selected projects
Experience connecting business systems.
These are website and integration projects, not AI transformation case studies. They show the experience I bring to connecting systems and delivering useful changes for businesses.
ABM
Association of Business Mentors
Website, commerce and platform integration
A connected platform for membership and course sales.
I rebuilt the Association of Business Mentors website and connected WooCommerce with its CRM and learning management system. This enables ABM to sell courses through the website while keeping its customer, sales and learning platforms connected.

Topic pages, design and functionality
Clearer topic journeys across an evolving education website.
I created dedicated pages for Puzzle Locker and improved the design and functionality across the website. The work gave each workshop topic a clearer place within the site and made the overall experience more consistent for schools exploring the service.

- Site-wide functionality
“Chris has done a fantastic job with our new website. It looks great, and we regularly receive compliments from schools on how easy it is to navigate. He’s always available on WhatsApp if we need anything and is incredibly quick to resolve any issues that arise. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services.”
How it works
Start small. Learn from the work.
We choose a process with a clear owner and a measurable problem, then make a change your team can evaluate before expanding it.
Workflow → recommendation → pilot → handover
01
Show me the task
Walk me through what happens today, who does it and where the bottlenecks are.
02
Choose the right approach
I assess the tools, data and risks, then propose a focused scope and estimate.
03
Build and test a pilot
I implement the agreed workflow and check its output with the people who will use it.
04
Handover and improve
Your team gets a usable process, clear ownership and an honest view of what to improve next.
A good place to begin
One repeated task is slowing you down.
- A business owner or team member can explain the current process
- The task happens often enough to make improvement worthwhile
- You can share examples and review the output
- There is someone who can own the process after handover
Needs more discovery
The process is still unclear.
- Nobody agrees on how the task should work
- The source information is unavailable or unreliable
- An automated decision would have serious consequences without human review
- The goal is a company-wide rollout before trying one workflow
Before you decide
Practical questions.
You do not need an AI strategy document to start a conversation.
01Do we need to know which AI tool to use?
No. Tell me what the team does today and where it gets stuck. I will assess whether AI, a simpler automation or a process change is the best fit.
02Will AI make decisions on its own?
That depends on the task and the agreed design. For work with important consequences, I would build in a person to check and approve the output before it is used.
03What if our information is sensitive?
We review the data involved before choosing a tool or building a workflow. I will explain where information would go and agree the boundaries with you before implementation.
04Can you still help with WordPress?
Yes. I continue to take on WordPress fixes, improvements and integrations. You can read more on the WordPress service page or describe the issue in the contact form.
Have a task in mind?
Tell me what takes too much time.
Describe the task, who does it and the tools involved. A rough explanation is enough to start; I'll reply within one working day.
