Helping good people across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire & Cambridgeshire — in person or online

What I can help with

No jargon, no upselling — just clear, practical help with the technology that holds your good work together.

01

Database design

Starting from scratch? I'll build something that fits the way you actually work — simple to use, easy to trust.

02

Data clean-ups

Duplicated names, out-of-date records, mystery spreadsheets? Let's get your data tidy — and keep it that way.

03

Migrations

Moving from one system to another without losing anything, breaking anything — or losing any sleep.

04

Ongoing support

A friendly pair of hands on call when something needs changing, fixing or explaining.

Who I help

Charities and small businesses do brilliant work with limited time, tight budgets and, very often, data held in various places. Donor lists in one file, referrals in another, and nobody quite sure which version is the right one.

That's where I come in. I'm an independent database consultant, and I speak human first and tech second. I'll take the time to understand how your organisation actually works, then build or tidy the systems behind it — without making you feel silly for asking questions.

Fancy a chat about your data?

Tell me what's going on — the messy spreadsheet, the ageing database, the wish list. We'll talk it through in plain English, with no jargon and no obligation.

Thirty minutes, free, and genuinely useful — even if we never work together, you'll leave with a clearer idea of your next step.

No sales patter, no tech-speak. Just a friendly conversation about what you need.
