Truro, Cornwall  ·  Exeter, Devon

Helping good South West businesses grow well.

Practical help with strategy, websites, CRM, AI, automation and the messy systems that come with growing. Plain English, fair prices, and someone you can actually sit down with — in Truro, in Exeter, or anywhere between.

Growing is the easy bit. Keeping up with it isn't.

You started with a notebook and a phone. Now there are quotes in one place, jobs in another, and three people who all know a different bit of it.

  • Enquiries arriving by phone, email, Facebook and word of mouth — and slipping through
  • A spreadsheet that only one person really understands
  • Quotes and invoices taking an evening a week
  • A website that hasn't been touched since it was built
  • A nagging feeling that AI could help, and no idea where to start
  • No time to fix any of it, because you're doing the actual work

How I help

Three ways to work together

Start small. Most people begin with a session, then decide whether they want help building anything.

Sort it

A session to work out what's actually wrong

Half a day together, in person or online. We map how the work really flows, find what's costing you time, and agree what to fix first. You leave with a written plan you can act on yourself.

£500–£1,000One-off, price agreed up front
Build it

I set the thing up properly

A website that brings in enquiries, a system that tracks them, quotes and invoices that don't eat your evenings, and automation for the jobs you're doing by hand.

£1,500–£5,000Fixed price, agreed before we start
Grow together

Ongoing help as things change

I stay involved month to month — improving what's there, sorting problems, and being the person you ask before making a decision.

£500–£1,500A month, cancel with 30 days' notice

Not sure which? That's what the coffee is for. Book one and we'll work it out.

You shouldn't need a tech background to run a business well in 2026.

No jargon, no twelve-month contracts, and no selling you software you don't need. If a spreadsheet is the right answer, I'll tell you.

Local work

The kind of thing I do

Small jobs with a big effect on the week.

Every enquiry in one place

A four-person trade business was losing quotes between two phones and a shared inbox. Now every enquiry lands in one list, gets chased automatically, and nothing goes quiet.

Building trade, Truro

An evening a week back

Quotes were being typed out by hand and re-typed into the accounts. Now a quote goes out in two minutes and turns into an invoice on acceptance.

Garden services, Falmouth

A website that answers the phone

A tired site was getting visitors but no enquiries. A rebuild with a clear booking form turned browsing into actual bookings.

Wellbeing practice, Exeter

Bigger or more technical? That's what the international site is for — CRM, HubSpot and RevOps work for larger organisations.

Steve Jones

Who you'd be working with

I'm Steve.

I've spent years helping organisations sort out the systems they run on — from small charities to companies in Canada and Australia. I live and work across Cornwall and Devon — based at Epiphany House in Truro, with a home in Exeter.

This is the part of the work I enjoy most: sitting down with someone who's built something good and helping them get their week back.

You'll deal with me, not an account manager.

Book a coffee

Half an hour, no charge, no pitch. Come to Epiphany House in Truro, meet me in Exeter, or we'll do it over a video call if that's easier.

  3. I'll be straight with youIf I can help, I'll say what it would take and what it would cost. If I can't, I'll point you at someone who can.
