AI consultant and fractional CTO for small businesses

Most AI consultants sell you a tool or a training course and leave. I do the opposite. I'm a hands-on AI expert and fractional CTO who sits alongside you and builds AI into your real workflows, so you come away with something that works and the confidence to run it yourself.

I've spent 20+ years shipping real products, for the likes of the BBC, Butternut Box, Surfers Against Sewage and Sworkit (40 million downloads). I've led VC-funded startups, and run and grown product agencies. That's the difference between AI that dazzles in a demo and AI you can trust: no spaghetti-code AI slop, no accidentally deleted databases. Real engineering judgement, applied to your business.

Testimonials

What working with me looks like

James Hind, Founder of Carwow and Ember

He's used Claude Cowork and Claude Code to transform workflows in marketing and in analytics, not just engineering.

Nick is an incredible engineer and has been a huge asset. He's extremely good at trying and implementing the latest AI across the whole business. I'd hugely recommend him to anyone and would love to work with him again in the future. He's also great fun to have on a team!

Mo Abbas, Founder of Trademark Brothers

He understands how businesses actually run, then brings the technical skills to match, for genuine business transformation.

Nick has been instrumental in paving the way to using Claude and other AI tools to change the way we work within our organisation. He doesn't just have a knack for the technical detail and the jargon, he also understands how businesses actually run, and brings his business acumen and technical skills together to work out what would be genuinely useful to build and implement. Nick is fantastic, and I would not hesitate to work with him in the future (which we are!).

AI consultant & fractional CTO FAQ

What does an AI consultant actually do?
An AI consultant helps a business work out where AI will genuinely save time or win customers, then builds it into their real workflows. I focus on giving you your own AI team on Claude, plus the skills to keep running it, so you own the capability rather than staying dependent on me.
Can you act as a fractional CTO?
Yes. Alongside the AI work I act as a fractional CTO for founder-led teams that need senior technical and product leadership without a full-time hire. I've spent 20+ years shipping real products, led VC-funded startups and run product agencies, so I can own the tech direction, hiring calls and roadmap while you focus on the business.
I built my MVP on Lovable or another no-code tool. Can you help me scale it?
Absolutely. This is one of my flagship services. If you built an MVP on Lovable or a no-code stack, found real traction and are now hitting the limits, I help you scale the tech, automate your operations with AI and move off no-code where it makes sense, with fractional CTO support so you make the right calls as you grow.
How much does an AI consultant or fractional CTO cost in the UK?
It depends on what you need, so I don't work from a fixed price list. We start with a free 20-minute intro chat to understand your business and scope what would help most, then agree an arrangement that fits, whether that's a build, ongoing support or fractional leadership. No cost and no pressure to find out.
Do I need to be technical to work with you?
Not at all. Non-technical founders and small teams are exactly who I work with. I explain everything in plain English and never make you feel daft for asking.
Which AI tools do you use?
I build on Claude, including Claude Code and Claude Cowork, because it's the strongest platform for giving a business its own team of autonomous agents. You own what we build, with no per-seat subscription and no black box. I'll always help you pick the right tool for the job and explain why in plain English.
