Small business operations consultant. Technology and systems support without the enterprise price tag.
The same operational thinking I bring to larger businesses — adapted for smaller ones. Remote delivery. Fixed prices. No jargon. No vendor agenda.
A small business operations consultant covers what a full-time operations director would — technology decisions, vendor oversight, process improvement, and AI readiness — on a flexible, affordable basis built for businesses under £500k.
