Practical AI for UK small businesses, consultants and sole traders

Real tools you use on Monday morning.

Whether it's just you or a team of fifteen, we train you to use AI properly and safely - then build the two or three things that'll actually move the needle. No slide decks, no six-month "transformation programme."

How we work with you

Learn. Apply. Sustain. In that order.

We're not a consultancy that hands over a slide deck and disappears, we work alongside you as an individual, or as a team.

01

Learn

Live, practical training in the tools you actually use. RCF prompting, safe data handling, when to trust AI and when not to.

02

Apply

We identify the two or three workflows worth fixing, then build them with you or your team.

03

Sustain

Ongoing coaching and refreshers as tools evolve every few months.

Most people don't need more AI tools - they need to know how to use the ones they've already got. That's the skill we teach: not another subscription, but the confidence to use what you've already paid for.
Who this is for

Whether you're one person or fifty, the skills are the same.

✓ Consultants, sole traders and founders

AI as your marketing team, researcher, and first-draft writer, if you know how to brief it.

✓ Small teams (2–15)

Recruiters, agencies, consultancies, service firms whose people are stretched thin.

✓ Growing operations (15–50)

Ready for a shared standard, not "everyone just figures it out."

Already working with us: professionals across life sciences, teams in financial services, operators in hospitality, specialists in economics.
