An AI consultant in Ipswich who actually ships.
Louis travels down from Norwich — on the A140 in time for the morning stand-up. James, Phil and Shivam back the engagement from Derby, Nottingham and London. Senior, AI-native operators in the room with Suffolk businesses ready to ship.
Most AI consultancies serving Ipswich are commuting in from London or running everything remotely from elsewhere. We are not. Louis is in Norwich, an hour down the A140 from Ipswich, on site with Suffolk businesses ready to ship AI rather than commission a report on it.
We have spent the last three years rebuilding our own businesses around AI — Homemove, home.co.uk and homedata.co.uk. We bring that stack and that way of working into Ipswich and Suffolk businesses that want the same shift.
Easy reach across Ipswich, Felixstowe, Bury St Edmunds, Stowmarket, Woodbridge and the wider Suffolk region. Monthly retainer plus transparent hourly delivery; most engagements pay back inside the first quarter.
Down the A140 when you need us
Louis drives down from Norwich for on-site days; the wider team joins remotely or on site as the engagement asks. Ipswich delivery without a leased Cornhill office and a London consultancy’s travel line on the invoice.
Build, not advise
No Ipswich workshop and a deck. We diagnose with your operators, design the systems, build them on your stack, deploy into your environment, and hand over the runbook to your team.
First-quarter pay-back
We start with the workflow that pays back fastest. Most clients save more in the first quarter than the entire engagement costs. The second workflow compounds on the first.
Common questions.
Why a regional AI consultant rather than a London firm?
Because the work happens in the room and Louis is an hour up the A140 in Norwich. A London firm bills the train, the hotel and a half-day of dead time per visit. We are inside an hour and back the same day.
Do you have an Ipswich office?
No, and we will not pretend we do. Louis travels down from Norwich. Engagements run in your offices, in shared workspaces in the town, or in a coffee somewhere central. The saved overhead comes back to you as a more honest rate.
Who comes to Ipswich engagements?
Louis from Norwich leads delivery and is on site most often. James from Derby joins for the commercial and capital side; Phil from Nottingham travels in for delivery sprints; Shivam (London) for financial diligence and any investor-facing work.
What kinds of Ipswich and Suffolk businesses do you take on?
Owner-managed SMBs, scale-ups and mid-market firms with revenue and a real operating model. Property, professional services, finance, recruitment, legal and ops-heavy industries are the natural fit. The Suffolk logistics, port and agri-food bases are well-suited too.
What does AI consulting in Ipswich cost?
A monthly retainer reserves capacity and covers planning and oversight; delivery hours are billed transparently on top. Rate quoted on the first call. We are cheaper than the equivalent London engagement because we are not paying for a city lease.
