Built for Manchester-specific needs
North West-specific factors that generic AI vendors miss.
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.
Manufacturing-aware
For the North West's manufacturing base, we build with knowledge of MES integrations, ATEX / CE document workflows, and shop-floor realities.
UK / EU hosting
Deploy on AWS / GCP / Azure UK regions, EU regions, or your own infrastructure. No default-to-US-then-ask-later.
GBP invoicing
Quotes in GBP, paid by bank transfer, Wise or Stripe. VAT correctly per HMRC rules.

Friday demos in Manchester hours. Async-first communication suits the typical North West client cadence.
