Clear thinking about the systems you depend on.
We're an independent IT consultancy in Lancashire. We don't resell anyone else's products, so there is nothing steering what we recommend.
Where the work usually starts
Your hosting bill arrives annually, nobody understands it, and it has somehow gone up again.
The site you built one weekend has done its job, and it is now the worst salesperson in the company.
Somewhere in your business there is a spreadsheet that everything secretly depends on: quoting, job tracking, stock. It works until the day someone sorts a column wrong.
Choosing a support company, a software vendor or a developer is hard when every proposal uses the same words.
How we work
- Trading since
- 2023
- Led by
- Brad, with specialists alongside
- Services
- Four, and no fifth
- Resells
- Nothing
- Based
- Preston, Lancashire
We resell nothing. No hardware margins, no software commissions, no referral fees from the suppliers we assess. That is a commercial decision with a practical consequence: the recommendation to spend nothing is one we can afford to make, and often do.
Services
- 01
IT strategy and advisory
Working out what your technology is actually for, and what's quietly costing you. Audits, procurement, vendor selection, security reviews. You end up with a written view of what to keep, what to replace, and what either one costs.
- 02
Website design
Sites that load fast on a phone, rank in search, and stay editable by your own team long after we've gone. We design and build, then hand the lot over: source files, hosting access, accounts, documentation.
- 03
Custom software
For the jobs that have outgrown a spreadsheet. Booking systems, client portals, integrations between the tools you already run. We keep the build small, write down how it works, and hand over the code.
- 04
Hosting and infrastructure
Hosting, backups and monitoring, sized to what the workload actually needs rather than what's easy to sell. Usually simpler and cheaper than what it replaces, and documented so nothing depends on us to keep running.
Work
£500
saved a month
Hosting and infrastructureThe Clock Repair Shop restores clocks from a workshop in Lytham St Annes, and we have looked after their IT and websites for five years. When we took on the hosting it was spread across three plans with two providers, renewed on different dates and paid for at a size the traffic never came close to.
We moved everything onto one server of ours, sized to the visitors they actually get, and tuned it. The site loads faster than it did and the bill is £500 a month lower. We still run it.
1 week
returned a month
Custom softwareThe Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland took expense claims as spreadsheets sent by email, with the receipts following in more emails. Finance matched them up and keyed every claim in again by hand, and it took a week of every month.
We built them an expenses tool that carries a claim from submission to approval in one place. Claims arrive complete and in one format, and finance has that week back.
Day one
live at launch
Website designDa Vito is an Italian takeaway on Ronaldsway in Preston. When they came to us they had a menu, a kitchen and an opening date, and nothing online.
By opening night the domain, the email and the Google Business Profile were set up, and the website was live with the full menu, prices and dietary notes included. It runs on our hosting, and the owner holds the keys to every account.

Working with Brad was an absolute dream. From our very first conversation, he made the whole website process feel easy, clear, and totally stress-free. He translated my ideas into a site that not only looks stunning but also performs flawlessly.
He handled everything from build to hosting seamlessly, with great communication throughout. I couldn't recommend him more highly if you're looking for a professional, high-end web presence without the usual hassle.

Brad and Nicole did a very good job helping me set up my Italian takeaway website and helping me get online.
I've noticed a steady flow of traffic on the website and believe it has made a big difference with the success of my takeaway. Very fair price and worked with me and my budget with honest recommendations and guidance.
