Tech Partnership

Your tech team, without the hire.

A senior team that analyses, builds and runs the systems your business depends on, for less than half the cost of one tech lead. Fixed monthly fee. No big upfront project.

Not IT support. We build and run the systems your business runs on, not laptops and email.

Businesses that need a tech team but can't justify the hire

The problem

You know the business needs to change. The spreadsheets, the paperwork, the systems that don't talk to each other. But a £30k project is a big cheque, and hiring a tech lead is a bigger one. So nothing happens.

The fix

We join your team. Every month we look at how your business runs, find what's slowing it down and build the fix. We're on the end of the phone when something breaks. We show up on site when it matters. And you can see exactly what we're doing, whenever you want, in your own client portal.

What we actually do

Everything is tied to where your business is going, not to what's shiny this year.

We build systems.

The applications that run your business: quoting, scheduling, orders, reporting, whatever you're still doing by hand.

We map how your business works.

Where the data goes, where it gets stuck, what's being typed in twice.

We find the right software.

If something off the shelf does the job, we'll tell you, and set it up. We don't build things that don't need building.

We bring in AI when it's needed.

Not everywhere. Where it removes real work.

We give you the plan.

A technology and AI plan your leadership team owns and understands, built around your objectives.

Why not just hire someone?

An IT manager's median advertised salary is £55,000. With employer NI and pension that's about £5,300 a month, before the recruiter's fee. You get one person, with one set of skills, who might leave.

With us you get a whole team: analysts, developers, designers. You get them from week one, not after three months of recruiting. And you can scale up or down as the business changes.

The boring stuff, sorted

NDA first.
Before we talk about your business in any detail, we sign one. Standard practice, not a special request.
You own everything.
Code, data, logins, systems. If you ever leave, it all goes with you.
Your data stays protected.
We work to UK GDPR, host in the UK and EU, and put a data processing agreement in place from day one.
Security is part of the build.
Access controls, encryption, backups. And when a partnership ends, we remove our own access the same day.
We're insured.
Professional indemnity cover, so you're protected if we get something wrong.
What's yours stays yours.
What we learn about your business stays with your business.
