Architecture & vendor ownership
One accountable owner for your stack: what gets built, what gets bought, which vendors stay — with the build-vs-buy honesty of someone who ships software rather than sells it.

What you get
Systems & process transformation
Document flows, data handling, client journeys and the operational plumbing between them — redesigned and rebuilt the way it was done across an AIM-listed legal services group, inside FCA/SRA compliance.
Team building & capability
Recruitment, interviewing and training for technical and commercial teams — grounded in years spent recruiting and training a business-development function and leading six senior sales managers.
Hands-on delivery
Not slideware. When something needs building — a pipeline, an integration, a proof of concept — the director writing your roadmap can also ship it.
The track record
Verifiable, specific, and stated exactly — the same standard we hold client proof to.
Two decades building for the web — from hand-coded sites in the Dreamweaver era to Next.js, Astro and Webflow today.
Eight years inside an AIM-listed, FCA/SRA-regulated legal services group: rebuilt document management and data handling for legal inspection reports — client sign-up through unique logins, document creation, change management, VAT handling and records — across client, BDM and legal teams.
Led a team of six senior sales managers; recruited and trained the business-development function; senior management within a 200+-person office.
Top salesperson nine consecutive years, often double the next best — a multi-million-pound revenue contribution. Technology leadership from someone who has also carried a number.
Three years in NHS workforce and governance at Royal Free London: vanguard-trust community engagement, membership elections, an FOI-management overhaul, and process redesign that cut patient patch-testing backlogs.
Ships in production today: the sellyourcab.co.uk platform (DVSA & DVLA integrations, proprietary vehicle-data layer, multi-channel sales workflow), a GPS-tracking startup on a fully custom stack, the Lift2 iOS app, and the HG Studio client portal.

Where it fits best
Strongest in automotive and property, with deep supporting experience in regulated legal and claims environments, healthcare and the public sector, retail and ecommerce, and coaching businesses. If your organisation needs technology owned rather than just delivered — and the person owning it to have shipped software themselves — this engagement is built for you.
