Built for Manchester-specific needs

GDPR + UK DPA native
Both regimes apply. We design for both, sign DPAs, document sub-processors, and don't train models on your data without explicit consent.

For the North West's manufacturing base, we build with knowledge of MES integrations, ATEX / CE document workflows, and shop-floor realities.

Manchester FAQ
Are you based in Manchester?+

Do you work with Manchester tech scaleups specifically?+
Yes. Series A–C scaleups in MediaCityUK, Spinningfields and across Greater Manchester are a strong fit for custom AI projects (in-product AI, customer support automation, sales-enablement copilots). A short scoping chat with me shows whether your stage and scope fit.
Can you handle UK manufacturing-specific workflows?+
Yes — we've built for ATEX / CE document workflows, MES integrations, shop-floor realities. The North West's manufacturing base is a natural fit.
