About Gingersnap Consulting
The Small Business Systems Expert
My expertise in a nutshell is to apply the right technology to everyday business to help business owners, or their teams, get precious time back and work smarter. I’m a small business systems expert.
I’ve been in technology for nearly 20 years, graduating from Aberdeen University with an MSc in Artificial Intelligence (back when it was geeky not trendy).
I began as a software coder working on mainly text recognition and inventory systems. I worked on projects for the Spanish Ministry of Defence, the Spanish Post Office and Barcelona airport. However, I realised I was far better at talking to the business teams than coding. I could understand what they really wanted, design the right solution and work with the coding team to make it happen. I went on to work with a variety of NHS, automotive, banking and insurance sector clients in and around London.
Now I love to work with small and medium sized businesses. I can make an immediate positive impact on every business I help. I have the expertise to select and embed the systems that fit the business. The theme with every business I work with is time saving and working smarter. Good systems are no longer a nice to have, they are an essential piece of armoury needed more than ever to react, adapt and communicate in order to win business, sustain it and grow it.
I’m probably best known for implementation & on demand support of WorkflowMax (Project/Job Management interfacing with Xero). I love helping a variety of clients fine tune their project delivery process, then building it in WorkflowMax, giving them an agile tool to track the project lifecycle and providing all the supporting information they need.
In my spare time I’m a trail runner and a firm believer that #flatisboring. I mostly run where I live, in Bannau Brycheiniog, but also love running in Eryri National Park. I enjoy cooking Vegan food and helping others to go plant based.
