MEET THE FOUNDER
Hello, I'm Lloyd
For more than a decade, I’ve been obsessed with finding where systems break so people don’t have to. From QA engineering in fast‑moving tech teams to building real Shopify solutions, I’ve seen first‑hand how operational friction silently eats time, margins, and growth.
After helping brands buried in manual tasks — tasks that cost £50k‑£150k a year without anyone noticing. I realised the problem wasn’t tools. It was clarity. People don’t need a pile of disconnected tools. They need a clear roadmap for where AI and automation deliver the biggest impact.
That’s why I created the AI & Automation Audit — a practical, ROI‑focused process that maps out your bottlenecks and the precise automations that fix them. This isn’t theory. It’s what I use with merchants who want to spend their days leading their business — not managing small tasks.
I’ll analyse your workflows, uncover hidden inefficiencies, and build a tailored automation strategy so you can focus on what matters: driving growth, delighting customers, and scaling without burnout.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will the report take to come through?
Typically we will be able to generate your report for you within 2 weeks of the initial audit call. However, for more complex cases it may take a week or so longer
Do we have to use you to implement the suggestions outlined in the report?
No, not at all. You are very welcome to take the report back to your team for them to implement. However, if you do decide to use our services your £2000 audit fee can be fully redeemed against your service fee.
What is the refund policy if we aren't happy with the report?
The audit is professional analysis rather than a refundable product.
Once the work begins, the value is delivered through the inspection itself.
