The Website uses cookies. Analytics and marketing cookies are only placed after you accept them in the cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time using Cookie Settings. For full details, see the Cookie Policy.

I use trusted third-party services that may process your data on my behalf:

• Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and Google Ads (Google LLC): website statistics and ad measurement.

• Calendly (Calendly LLC): if you book a strategy call, your name, email and booking details are processed to schedule the call.

Some of these providers may transfer data outside the UK or your country. Where this happens, they rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

Enquiry and client communication data is kept for as long as needed to answer you and manage our working relationship, and then for up to 2 years unless the law requires longer. Analytics data is kept for a maximum of 14 months.
