AI & workflowautomation thatearns its keep
Your team spends hours on repetitive tasks - manual reporting, data entry, email triage, meeting admin. We find the bottlenecks and automate them using tools that actually work.

Evolve
Everything here runs on our own business first
We build with n8n, Zapier, Make and custom assistants. Nothing reaches a client that isn't already running in our own back office - if an automation doesn't survive contact with our own week, we don't sell it.
This is Evolve, one of the three modes we work in alongside Resolve and Prevent. Most clients add automation once their day-to-day IT already runs smoothly.
Real example - our own Friday invoicing run
Every week, one automated workflow - about 140 hours a year back.
The process
Not everything should be automated
We recommend only the changes that earn their place, and we say so when the honest answer is to leave a process alone. If you’d rather test the water yourself first, we listed five AI automations any small business can set up this week - no consultants required.
Workflow Audit
We map your current processes and identify bottlenecks. What takes time? What gets repeated? Where are the errors?
Opportunity Assessment
We rank each opportunity by pay-off: the automations that save the most hours for the least complexity - and the ones not worth building.
Build & Test
We implement the automation, test it thoroughly, and integrate with your existing tools. No disruption to current work.
Train & Support
Your team learns how to use the new tools. We provide ongoing support and iteration as your needs change.
What we automate
Where the repeated work usually hides
Practical implementations for every department - with the tools installed from the right places. That caveat matters more than it used to: malware now routinely arrives dressed as a well-known AI app.

In practice
What this looks like on a Tuesday
One automation, measured honestly - and the monthly support rhythm it grows out of.
For support clients
AI that earns its keep
Half of small firms use AI; 12% can point to any revenue from it. We automate one boring thing, measure it, and keep it or kill it.

A month on the plan
No crisis in this one - just four ordinary weeks of a fourteen-person firm on a plan. This is what the fee actually buys.

AI & Automation FAQ
Anything repetitive with clear rules: email triage and follow-ups, scheduling, quotes and invoices, data entry between systems, report generation, onboarding paperwork. A good rule of thumb - if your team does it the same way more than twice a week, it's a candidate.
No. We handle the technical side. You tell us what wastes your time, and we figure out the best way to automate it - sometimes that's AI, often it's a simple integration between two tools you already pay for.
Every tool we put in front of your data gets checked for one thing first: whether it trains on what you send it. Where that setting exists we turn it off before anything goes live, and where a workflow touches personal data we keep it in a UK or EU region if the vendor offers one. You get a written note of which tool sees what, so “where did that invoice go” has a document behind it rather than a shrug.
For drafting, summarising and searching your own files, often yes - you may already be paying for it, and we would rather set it up properly than sell you something else. What Copilot does not do is wire two systems together: a quote that has to leave your CRM and land in your accounts still needs building. We will tell you which half of the problem Copilot already covers.
n8n, Zapier, Make, Microsoft 365 Copilot, custom assistants, and whatever fits. We're tool-agnostic - we pick the right tool for the job, not the one we have a partnership with.
Yes, and we tell you the figure while we are still scoping. Zapier, Make, OpenAI and the rest are billed by the vendor, not by us. Where two designs would both work, we prefer the one that does not add another monthly subscription.
You do. We build inside your own accounts wherever the tool allows it, so the workflow belongs to your business rather than to us. Where something has to sit in our tenancy, you get the export and the documentation, and it comes with you if we part ways.
They break quietly - an API changes, a run stops, and nobody notices until the invoices did not go out. For clients whose IT we run, the automations we build are monitored alongside the rest of their systems, so a failed run reaches us before it reaches you. On a one-off build we set up the alerting and show you exactly where it lands.
Simple workflows: 1–2 weeks. Complex multi-step automations: 4–8 weeks. We scope everything upfront so you know the timeline before we start.
Depends on the automation. Our own Friday invoicing run went from 3 hours to 20 minutes - about 140 hours a year. We always estimate time saved for your specific workflow before starting - if the numbers don't make sense, we'll tell you.
For most UK businesses, no. It binds providers and deployers in the EU market, and the work we usually do - moving your own data between your own tools, drafting from your own documents - sits at the bottom of its risk scale regardless. If you sell into the EU, or you want to use AI in decisions about people, that is a conversation to have before we build anything, and we will raise it.
Automation works best on solid IT foundations
