Nearly 30 years running food manufacturing operations, now applied to owner-led businesses that have outgrown the way they are run. We fix the structure first, then automate what is left.
We work with SMEs of 10 to 250 people in manufacturing, food, distribution, construction and professional services across Ireland and the UK. Businesses that have grown on effort and goodwill, and now need structure to grow further.
2
Your managers report activity, not results.
3
The numbers arrive too late to change anything.
4
Admin headcount rises every time sales rise.
5
You have bought software that nobody uses properly.
6
You know AI could help, but not where to start or what it would cost.
These are structure problems. Automating them only makes them faster.
Architecture First. Automation Second.
2. KPI and Visibility
A small set of numbers, reported on time, that tell you what is really happening.
3. Process Infrastructure
The workflows that cost you most, mapped, standardised and measured.
4. Governance Cadence
The meeting rhythm that turns numbers into actions and actions into accountability.
5. AI Automation
Only now do we automate, because only now is there a stable process worth automating.
Every engagement starts with the diagnostic.
Operational Diagnostic
EUR 14,000 fixed fee. Six weeks. No obligation to proceed.
What you get:
An accountability map of who owns what, and where decisions stall
A KPI baseline with euro values attached
Process maps of your three to five most expensive workflows
A costed automation and AI plan with payback for each item
Named internal owners for every action
Where you are eligible, the evidence base for an Enterprise Ireland Digital Process Innovation application
Autonomous Operations Build
We implement the plan: process redesign, KPI dashboards, governance cadence, and AI employees for the work your team should not be doing by hand. Priced from the diagnostic, so you know the cost and the payback before you commit.
Fractional COO
Embedded operational leadership for a set number of days each month. Gary runs the governance cadence, owns the KPI rhythm with your managers and leads the change until it holds without him. Monthly retainer, no long-term lock-in.
What they do
Answer and qualify enquiries, book appointments, process supplier invoices and chase receivables, prepare payroll data, capture and clean data, and produce daily performance reports.
How we deploy them
1. Map the process and its cost before anything is built.
2. Build the AI employee against that process, connected to the systems you already use.
3. Run it in parallel with your team until its accuracy is proven on live work.
4. Hand over with written procedures, named owners and a monthly review.
Controls
Role-based access, a full audit trail, human sign-off on anything that moves money, and GDPR-compliant data handling.
One AI employee often covers several roles. It usually means the next admin hire is not needed, and your existing people move to work that grows the business.
Enterprise Ireland’s Digital Process Innovation scheme supports 50% of eligible costs, up to EUR 150,000, for qualifying businesses. External consultancy is an eligible cost.
The application must go in before any build work starts, and it needs a defined process, a costed plan and a measured baseline. That is exactly what the diagnostic produces.
Your business is the applicant. We build the application evidence with you. Approval is Enterprise Ireland’s decision.
The diagnostic itself is not grant funded. It tells you whether the build is worth doing, and positions you to apply if it is.

No pitch. We look at where the pressure is in your business and whether the diagnostic would pay for itself. If we are not the right fit, we will say so.
