Fractional IT Director for Growing SMEs

Your business may not need a full-time IT Director — but it still needs someone taking ownership of technology.

I provide independent, part-time technology leadership for growing SMEs, helping you make better decisions about your systems, data, software and automation.

Common Challenges

Has Your Business Outgrown the Way It Manages Technology?

As businesses grow, technology often grows with them — one system, spreadsheet and subscription at a time.

Eventually, things become harder to manage:

Different systems don't talk to each other
The same information is entered more than once
Important processes depend on spreadsheets
Management reporting is slow or unreliable
Nobody really owns the overall technology picture
You're unsure what technology to invest in next
IT decisions are taking up too much management time

You may already have an IT support company keeping everything running.

But who's making sure your technology is actually supporting the business?

How I Can Help

Systems & Processes

Identify disconnected systems, duplicated work and manual processes that are costing your team time.

I'll help determine whether you should improve what you already have, integrate existing systems, buy something new or build something specifically for your business.

Data & Reporting

Turn business data into information you can actually use.

I'll help improve how information is captured, managed and reported so you can spend less time manipulating spreadsheets and more time making decisions.

Technology Strategy

No hardware sales. No software licences to push. No preferred product that I need to sell you.

Recommendations are based on what I believe is right for your business.

Independent Advice

I provide custom software development services designed to solve real business problems — not just deliver code. Whether you’re building a new product or improving an existing system, I focus on creating solutions that are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with your long-term goals.

What You’ll Get

A Practical, Business-Focused Approach

Technology shouldn't be implemented simply because it's available.

I start by understanding how your business actually works — the people, processes, systems, problems and ambitions.

From there, I help identify where technology can simplify operations, improve information, reduce manual work and support future growth.

And because my background spans software development, databases, business intelligence, reporting and systems integration, I can bridge the gap between business requirements and technical implementation.

Not Sure Where to Start?

Start With a Technology Health Check

A Technology Health Check gives you an independent view of how your business is currently using technology and where improvements could be made.

We'll look at your systems, data, reporting, processes and technology suppliers to identify:

What's working well
Where time and effort are being wasted
System and data bottlenecks
Opportunities for integration and automation
Key risks and dependencies
Priorities for improvement

You'll receive a clear, prioritised technology roadmap showing what to address now, what can wait and where the biggest opportunities lie.

There's no obligation to implement the recommendations with me.

Designed for Growing Businesses

This service is particularly suited to:

Owner-managed SMEs without an internal IT Director
Businesses that have grown beyond spreadsheets and disconnected systems
Companies juggling multiple software platforms and suppliers
Management teams that need better reporting and business information
Businesses considering new software, automation or AI
SMEs that need technology leadership but aren't ready for a full-time senior hire

Someone Needs to Own the Bigger Picture

If technology decisions are currently shared between the MD, Finance Director, Office Manager, IT support company and whoever happens to be "good with computers", it may be time to give someone responsibility for the whole picture.

Get experienced, independent technology leadership — without the cost of a full-time IT Director.
