Greater London · an hour up the line

AI automation for small businesses in London

London is an hour up the line from the studio in East Grinstead. Direct trains into London Bridge and Victoria. I build production AI workflows, custom apps and email infrastructure for the capital's small businesses: remote-first, with on-site when a project needs me in the room. Ten years behind the email programmes of brands like Audi and O2. For London firms, a West Sussex AI automation agency with the price said upfront.

London isn't one market but a hundred: agencies in Shoreditch, recruiters in the City, ecommerce brands run from a spare room in Hackney. What its small businesses share is the same squeeze: lean teams and more repetitive admin than the headcount can absorb. From East Grinstead I'm a direct train into London Bridge or Victoria, so on-site is a morning, not an expedition.

For a London agency or recruiter, the drain is usually volume: inbound briefs, applications and client updates handled by hand. I build the workflow that captures, triages and routes them on its own, so the team works on the judgement calls instead of the inbox. Common fits here: marketing agencies, recruitment and ecommerce.

One person, end to end.

You work directly with me. No account managers, no handoffs. I scope it, build it, and explain it.

Remote-first, on-site when it counts.

I come up the line for the sessions that need a room; everything else happens in your stack.

Fixed scope, clean handover.

You get the working system, the source and a runbook. No retainer, no lock-in.

Do you take on London clients from East Grinstead?

Yes, and it works well. East Grinstead is a direct train into London Bridge or Victoria, so on-site is a morning, not an expedition. Most London work runs remote-first anyway: lean teams, your existing tools, and me a short train away when a session in the room helps.

How much does an AI system cost for a small business in London?

A fixed price, agreed before anything starts. The first build carries no fee: I fix one real thing at no cost, and it's yours either way. After that, small fixes start at £220, a small workflow at £450, and an AI audit and roadmap is £650, credited toward the build it scopes. A fixed-scope build sprint (one workflow, built and shipped in 4-8 weeks) anchors at £4,500, payable in three monthly instalments, and a larger app build at £12,000.

What do you typically automate for London businesses?

For a London agency or recruiter, the drain is usually volume: inbound briefs, applications and client updates handled by hand. I build the workflow that captures, triages and routes them on its own, so the team works on the judgement calls instead of the inbox. E-commerce brands get the same for support and order admin.

Questions on cost, data and lock-in (and why every build is LLM-agnostic rather than tied to one AI vendor) are answered straight on the FAQ page →
