UK Workbenches

Client project · For retailers & trade suppliers
UK Workbenches project

Websites / E-commerce / Software & AI / Marketing

A trade store built around the buyer.

Before
A strong product range was held back by an ageing OpenCart store. Comparing specifications was difficult, mobile buying was awkward, and shared hosting affected both the shop and email.
What changed
A Shopify rebuild with clearer specifications, trade buying journeys and paid search to bring customers in. Microsoft 365 separated email from the shop, with ongoing care after launch.

Kingsland Fabrications

Client project · For manufacturers & growing operations
Kingsland Fabrications project

Websites / Software & AI / Marketing

More capacity. Same team.

Before
Production depended on a physical board, disconnected tools and people chasing updates around the shop. A better website was only part of what the business needed.
What changed
A custom production system connected cutting, welding, finishing and dispatch. AI then tackled document processing and repetitive paperwork, giving the office and shop floor a shared view of the work.

revenue growth versus the start-of-year plan
~120%
no increase in headcount that financial year
Same wage bill

Financial-year results compared with the start-of-year revenue plan, following custom MES and AI delivery. Headcount and the wage bill remained unchanged.

“We came to Chris wanting a website. We ended up with a system that runs the whole shop, and it's still growing.”
Stephen Chappell, MD · Kingsland Fabrications

Kingsland Fabrications: AI paint-note automation

Client project · For teams buried in repeat paperwork
Kingsland Fabrications: AI paint-note automation project

Software & AI

Give the supervisor their day back.

Before
A shop-floor supervisor spent up to two hours a day turning PDF cut lists into paint notes. Every hour at the desk was an hour away from fabrication and quality checks.
What changed
We built a focused pipeline that extracts cut-list data and produces the paint-note format the shop already uses. Iteration on real drawings and validation came before production use.

Paint-note preparation within the wider Kingsland programme. The 2-4 week delivery included iteration on real cut lists and validation.

CRB Door Systems

Client project · For established service businesses
CRB Door Systems project

Websites / Software & AI / Marketing

Turn a quiet website into a route to new work.

Before
CRB’s old website no longer reflected the business and was bringing in little useful demand. Commercial buyers needed clearer services and an obvious way to enquire.
What changed
Dedicated service pages, targeted search work and clear quote routes created a new enquiry channel. The relationship continued into Google Workspace and planning a custom stock system.

NW Automatic Doors

Client project · For businesses serving local & regional demand
NW Automatic Doors project

Websites / Marketing

The right next step, even when it’s urgent.

Before
A failed entrance and a planned installation are very different buying situations. The old site gave urgent callers and facilities buyers much the same journey.
What changed
We separated emergency call-outs from planned quotes, clarified the service range and built regional pages around the areas the team serves. Ongoing SEO and GEO build on that foundation.

Avanti Doors

Client project · For specialists ready for a stronger online presence
Avanti Doors project

Websites / Marketing

Show customers the business you’ve become.

Before
The first brief was reliable company email. The wider opportunity was a website that made Avanti’s commercial door services, experience and coverage easier to understand.
What changed
A complete rebuild brought together product, service, sector and coverage pages with clear contact routes. Google Workspace supported the team behind the site, while SEO continued after launch.

Valley Upholstery

Client project · For craft & trade businesses serving homes and firms
Valley Upholstery project

Websites / Software & AI / Marketing

Price and proof on the first screen.

Before
A 1978-established upholstery workshop on a slow WordPress site that did little to answer the two questions every customer asks: what will it look like, and what will it cost?
What changed
An Astro rebuild with separate home and commercial routes, an instant foam calculator, a photo quote wizard, cost guides and area pages written from real jobs, with every old URL redirected.

PGT Repairs

Client project · For small trade & repair businesses
PGT Repairs project

Websites / Software & AI / Marketing

Make the phone ring for a one-man workshop.

Before
A one-man garden machinery workshop with a basic site and no time for marketing. The website needed to bring in the right repairs on its own.
What changed
Repair guides that answer real searches, service, brand and commercial pages, live reviews and structured data, plus a custom workshop app for tracking repairs.

BBS Window Blinds

Client project · For firms selling to businesses and homes
BBS Window Blinds project

Websites / Marketing

Move the site. Keep the rankings.

Before
A WordPress site that mixed school and care-home buyers with homeowners, and web enquiries that never reached the CRM.
What changed
A protected migration to Astro, commercial pages for programme buyers, separate home and business routes, and every web enquiry piped straight into Pipedrive.

The Bridge at Leigh

Client project · For charities & community organisations
The Bridge at Leigh project

Websites / Software & AI

Better tools for the people helping others.

Before
Shared-hosting email and paper-based shop processes made everyday work harder for a community food bank. Donors, volunteers and people needing help also needed a clearer way in.
What changed
A new website and Google Workspace gave the team a firmer foundation. A purpose-built iPad membership and till system let volunteers register members, find returning visitors and handle shop transactions.

DoorOps

Our own product · For field-service & specialist software ideas
DoorOps project

Websites / Software & AI

Keep the job moving after the engineer leaves.

The problem
Paper worksheets can get lost between site and office. Missing job details leave staff chasing engineers before they can prepare customer paperwork or move the job on.
What we built
We designed and built a specialist product for door contractors: onsite digital worksheets, branded PDFs and AI to help turn job information into usable paperwork.

TradeCatalog

Our own product · For manufacturers, wholesalers & trade suppliers
TradeCatalog project

Software & AI / Marketing

The emailed price list, replaced.

The problem
Trade suppliers email spreadsheet and PDF price lists. Every customer has a different discount, so someone keeps a second spreadsheet of who pays what, and every price rise means a week of edits and chasing.
What we built
We built and run an online catalogue where each trade customer sees their own price, gets an email showing only their own price changes and can send an order. Invoicing and payment stay how the supplier already works.

RelayDesk

Our own product · For customer-service & internal-tool workflows
RelayDesk project

Software & AI

AI drafts the reply. You stay in control.

The problem
Customer context was scattered across chats and business numbers. A generic AI window could miss which business was replying or what had already been agreed.
What we built
We built a desktop inbox with separate account contexts, reviewable business memory and AI-assisted replies. Drafting and sending remain separate actions, with the owner deciding what goes out.

Structura AI

Our own product · For complex professional software
Structura AI project

Software & AI

Useful AI needs more than a plausible answer.

The problem
Engineering and CAD work needs visible scope, controlled actions and evidence of completion. A convincing chat response alone cannot provide those things.
What we built
We designed a desktop workbench that connects an engineer’s intent to the active application. The workflow makes the plan inspectable, actions stoppable and verification part of the process.

DryRide

Our own product · For app founders & product teams
DryRide iPhone screen comparing route time and forecast rain exposure

Websites / Software & AI

Make a complicated choice feel simple.

The problem
The fastest motorcycle route can also mean more time in the rain. Riders needed a way to weigh a detour against the weather they would meet along the way.
What we built
We combined Apple mapping and weather data in a native iPhone experience. Route time, forecast rain exposure and the reason for a recommendation sit together, so the rider can choose.
