Tell me the job that's eating your team's time. I come in — in person across London, or over a call anywhere — sit with you and the people doing the work, and build a real AI fix on your own tools. In about a week to ten days I show you what it saves, in hours and in pounds. Keep it and it's yours. Don't want it, we shake hands. You see the saving before you spend anything.

How The Time-Back Build works
No slides, no theory. You pick the one job costing you the most. I sit with your team, build the fix, and bring it back with the saving in black and white — the same way I built Renewal's morning system with Beni.
This isn't free work — it's a real solution to your real problem. You experience the saving before you spend a penny.
Why good SMEs stall in 2026
Every new client adds admin, and the only lever you've got is hiring. There's a better one.
A junior admin hire in the UK runs £30k+ a year. Add NI, pension, holidays, sick days and the 3 months it takes them to learn your business. Then add it again next year.
An AI system is built once. It answers the enquiry at 9pm, chases the invoice on day 14 and writes the progress update every Friday. It doesn't hand in its notice, and you own it outright.
10 hours of admin a week at £50/hour is £26,000 a year. That's the number we measure every build against.

For builders, refurbishment and renovation firms. Most lose 10–20 hours a week to admin and project tracking — roughly £500–£1,000 a week in time. Here’s what that time goes on, and what it looks like once it’s handled for you.
Tick the ones that hurt most — that's what I build first.
Not on the list? Tell me what else eats your week and I'll tell you if AI can take it off your plate.
Figures illustrative. Guide prices are always confirmed by a site survey/visit. You own the system once — no monthly retainers.
The outcome
Not theory — what actually shifts in the business once the repetitive work is off your team's plate.
Proof · it's already running
This is exactly how The Time-Back Build works. I sat with Beni, absorbed how Renewal actually ran, and built this on their real systems. It's why I now offer it to every business the same way.
Renewal Constructions Inc. were losing hours every day to manual review across email, notes and files. Finance, admin and projects all needed checking — and things still slipped through.
Hours of daily review → about ten minutes, live in weeks rather than quarters.
“It just reads everything every morning and tells me what needs me — across finance, admin and projects.”

What was built
More case studies in build. Your business could be the next one.
The method
Five steps, every engagement. I start with your real work — not the tech — find what's actually leaking time and money, and only then bring AI to it. No surprises, no scope creep.
The guarantee
Every build gets a target before it starts. Hours saved, response time, quotes out the door: we agree the number up front, in writing.
If the system misses it, I keep working on my own time until it hits. You don't pay for my misses.
And if the first session shows AI won't pay for itself in your business, I'll tell you that too. We shake hands, and you've lost nothing.
Pricing · the stages
No big-bang contract. See it work on your own problem, then build from there — stop at any stage.
Your most expensive workflow, built on your own tools.
Hire me personally to build the fix into your business properly, and tackle the next one or two problems.
A standing partner, not a full-time hire. Book days as you need them.
The first session is always free to see. Third-party tool costs (if any) are billed separately, at cost.
The honest comparison
You already know what carrying on looks like: another salary every time you grow, more people to manage, and the same 7pm admin pile.
Fixing it once looks like this: the top 3 time-eaters in your business handled by systems you own, measured against a baseline we set together, run by the team you already have.
One of these compounds in your favour.
Why me
I'm not an agency reselling junior time, and I'm not a tool vendor. Twelve years running planning, activation and operations on some of the most demanding accounts in the country — Estée Lauder, MAC, Tom Ford, Lloyds, Santander, NEXT and George at Asda, inside Publicis, Dentsu and Assembly. I've spent that career turning chaotic accounts into ones that actually run.
Now I do the same with AI for owner-led businesses — full operating systems for clients like Renewal Constructions: context files, custom integrations, daily workflows. The kind of thing most “AI consultants” only talk about.
Questions
You see the whole thing — the fix built on your real problem and exactly what it saves — at no cost. You only pay if you want it live and yours. If it’s not for you, we shake hands, no invoice.
During the build you see it work, but I don’t leave the system or accounts with you until you’re a client. You buy with your eyes open, not on a promise.
Both. In person across London, screen-share anywhere else — including overseas. Same method.
I don’t start from scratch — I bring pre-built templates and adapt them to your tools. That’s why it’s real, not a mock-up, and still quick.
Each system has a written target we agree before the build. Under target, I keep working at no charge until it’s hit. It’s in the agreement, and it’s why I only build what will pay.
We run on realistic dummy or sandbox data and agree exactly what AI can and can’t touch before anything connects. I’ve handled data for banks and global brands.
I’ve run accounts for Lloyds, Santander and Estée Lauder, where data handling is audited, contractual and non-negotiable. Before anything is built we agree exactly what AI can touch, and every account and key stays in your name.
Billed at cost, no markup. Usually £20–£50 a month per system. You’ll see the estimate before anything is built.
Me. Every session, every build, every training session. There’s no junior bench to be handed to.
Free guide
The exact checklist I use on the first call — score your own workflows on pain, frequency and AI-fit, and see where AI would pay off first. No call required.
One email with the checklist inside. After that, an occasional note when I've built something worth copying.
Get started
Book a session. Tell me your worst workflow and I'll build the fix on your own tools — in person across London or over a call. See what it saves before you spend anything. Keep it and it's yours.
