About

Hi, I'm Simon and I'm a tech entrepreneur. I've been working as a Fractional CTO since 2018 and have recently started to expand the business by taking on Associates to help me deliver services to our clients. No two engagements with us are the same, however there are some key things that we like to focus on. The first three months will generally be about setting things up for the next 3 years of your business. Initially this will be looking to document the current as-is situation, and reviewing the existing business plans for where you are heading over the next 3 years.

This allows us to articulate the 3 year technology roadmap for you. This roadmap will include where we are looking to take your software, and also a holistic view across the whole business, along with the associated risk register and proposed resolutions. Whilst this long term strategic planning is vitally important we will also be looking into your immediate needs by liaising with the team and understanding the major pain points as they exist today and proposing solutions to them. In the longer term the role is CTO is making sure we execute on the strategy, and ensuring the tech team is delivering quality solutions at pace.

My team have a wide background but they are all exceptional in their communication and technology skills and bring huge amounts of expertise to your business. But you wont just get a single individual, I and the whole team are available where requried to cover holidays and where a wider technology view is required.

Where it all began

I have over 20 years experience in the IT industry having graduated with a Computer Science degree way back in 1996. I started work at a small software house in Leominster close to where I grew up in Herefordshire. Being such a small company meant I didn't have just one job. I was the developer, architect, technical support, pre-sales consultant, network and server engineer. Yes it really was that small, but that set the scene for my entire career.

Career

Over the years I have contracted at many organisations including AssureWeb, Practiv, Halifax, Lloyds Bank, EE, Nokia and Avon and Somerset Constabulary, always looking for that elusive company where I wanted to work long term. Only recently did I realise I love the variety and challenge of working on many projects simultaneously, and being my own boss. I love helping people and companies succeed, why not Contact Me and see how we can help you.
