Our Story
From tinkering with the BBC Micro in primary school to navigating the early days of the internet, my journey with technology has been a lifelong adventure. Growing up in an engineering family, I wasn’t content with simply accepting challenges—I was determined to understand them, deconstruct them, and build innovative solutions. That curious spirit led me to explore everything from gaming on a Spectrum 128k+2 to diving into programming long before the internet became a household name.
My early forays into the digital world were filled with moments of pure joy—like the first time I watched a website’s visitor counter tick upwards, knowing that I had built something that resonated with real people.
Those formative experiences in a computer rental business, where I not only learned to code in chatrooms but also built a company website during the infancy of web marketing, set me on a path that would define my career.
I’ve had the privilege of working across industries, from designing circuit board machinery to shaping the digital identities of emerging brands. Along the way, I forged relationships with industry giants like Lycos, Yahoo, and even Google, witnessing first-hand the evolution of digital marketing—from the early days of SEO to the sophisticated, data-driven strategies of today.
Yet, amid all these dynamic shifts, one truth has remained constant: technology should serve a purpose. The digital world has grown exponentially, filled with a dizzying array of tools, platforms, and endless possibilities, especially with the rise of AI. But not every shiny new tool is right for every business.
That’s why I founded D1gitise—a digital consultancy born out of both passion and necessity. When the pandemic reshaped the business landscape and I found myself at a crossroads in a failing financial institution, I seized the moment to help businesses navigate the complex digital terrain.
At D1gitise, my mission is simple: to demystify the digital world and empower you to achieve your goals without getting lost in the noise. That means more than just marketing—it means having a solid digital foundation.
A successful online presence isn’t just about having a website; it’s about having the right infrastructure in place. From marketing-ready websites designed for conversion to the entire ecosystem that fuels success—SEO, automation, analytics, content strategies, and digital advertising—every piece needs to work in harmony. I specialise in building high-performing digital platforms that not only look great but also drive real business results.
With decades of hands-on experience and a genuine commitment to innovation, I’m here to guide you through the ever-changing digital landscape with clarity, integrity, and a bit of that old-school determination.
