I'm Gary Grehan.
I build the websites, systems and new products founder-led businesses run on, then stay on to help them grow.

Twenty-five years running my own businesses.
I have run my own businesses for twenty-five years. That means I have made the decisions, carried the risk and lived with the results, which is a different thing from advising from the outside.
In 2014 I went into business with my partner. We built an online business alongside a global brand and took it past four million pounds in sales inside twelve months, working with people in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, India and Australia.
I have had the highs and the lows that come with that. It is most of why founders talk to me the way they do. I have been where they are, and I know which problems are worth solving first.
Wherever you are
UK based. Not UK only.
Everything I build runs in the cloud, so where you are makes very little difference to the work. I've worked with people across five regions, and I'm set up to work with you wherever you're based.
- Calls book in your time zone. UK afternoons overlap with US mornings.
- Builds and monthly support are quoted in your currency.
- WhatsApp, email or video, whichever suits you.
Not an industry. A situation.
I've built for a language school, an estate agency and a coaching business. What they had in common was where they were, not what they sold.
This is usually a good fit
- Your business is trading, but enquiries, follow-up and admin are held together by you.
- You want to launch something new and have nobody internally who can shape it and build it.
- You want one person to think it through, build it, and stay on to grow it.
Probably not me
- You have the spec already and just need it executed cheaply.
- You need someone in the team full time.
- Price is the deciding factor.
Tell me what you're trying to fix or launch
A half-formed idea is enough to start with. Working out what it actually is comes first anyway.
