Your own IT Director, ten hours a month

Most small businesses cannot justify a full time IT Director, but they still need someone senior who owns the technology side. This is that person, for ten hours a month, on a rolling monthly agreement. Twenty three years in IT, working on your business rather than talking about it.

The problem we keep seeing

  • Nobody senior owns technology, so decisions get made by whoever shouts loudest.
  • You are paying suppliers you cannot really assess, for things you cannot really check.
  • Projects stall because there is no one to drive them between your day job and everyone else's.

What we build

  • Ten hours a month of my time, used how it helps you most
  • Hands on project work, not just advice on a slide
  • Meetings with you, your team and your suppliers
  • A technology roadmap owned and kept moving month to month
  • Systems, hosting, security and licences reviewed and tightened
  • Straight advice on what to build, what to buy and what to bin
  • A monthly report and a working session so you always know where the hours went

FAQs

What does the IT Director service cost?+

From £1,000 a month. That includes ten hours of my time every month, on a rolling monthly agreement you can cancel any month.

What if I need more than ten hours in a month?+

We agree it before the work starts and extra hours are billed at the same rate. Some months come in under ten, some over, and most clients settle into a rhythm within two or three months.

Is it really just you?+

Yes. You work with me directly. When a job needs a specialist I bring one in and manage them, so you are never handed to a junior.

Can this replace my current IT supplier?+

Often it sits above them. I hold your suppliers to account and make the decisions in your interest, and if one is not pulling its weight I will tell you.

Does the build work come out of the hours?+

Website and app builds are priced separately as fixed price projects, so your director hours stay focused on strategy, oversight and moving projects forward.
