STEP ONE

Here's my process

Michael Bester,owner,  dulwich sash ltd.

Elle is absolutely brilliant at what she does! She really took the time to listen to the challenges I was facing with juggling all the tasks in my business and offered me a range of tailored solutions to choose from. Highly recommend working with Elle, she’s made such a difference. Thank you, Elle!

"Elle was a game changer for me and my business."

Craig Shields, owner, cs carpentry

I run a carpentry and construction company in Kent. We have multiple jobs running at one time and was looking for a system that would help us manage them easier. Elle suggested using a few systems that would help us. She delivered a package to me and my team very professionally and very clear on how to use. It has changed the way we work and I can't thank her enough for what she's done. I would highly recommend her services to anybody that runs a business. Many thanks again for a great service.

Elle took my business to the next level

Ryan Cornish, RTR Renovations

Our business runs seasonally and when we started working with Elle we had 6 permanent staff and 10 or so who would join us during the busy summer period.
We've tripled our headcount since working with Elle to manage a significant increase in business. There's no way we could physically run this business now without the systems and processes we put in place with Elle.

Tripled our headcount - there is no way we could physically run the business without the systems Elle put in.

I work with trades with 1–200 staff and turnover of £300k+, helping them streamline operations and scale efficiently.

What types of businesses do you work with?

We start with a discovery call to assess your business, identify pain points, and recommend the right mix of audits, systems, or ongoing support.

How do I know which service I need?

It completely depends on the combination of software, the size of your business, and the complexity of your workflows. We discuss and plan timelines at the proposal stage. 

How long does it take to set up a CRM or workflow system?

I provide clear, hands-on training tailored to your team’s needs, ensuring everyone can use the new systems confidently.. Most people learn through doing so I try to keep training as a briefing session and then hands on learning. 

Will my team need a lot of training?

Yes! I integrate new workflows with your current software whenever possible, or recommend upgrades if needed for efficiency.

can you work with my existing tools?

Absolutely. I provide ongoing operations support, troubleshooting, and process improvements to keep your business running smoothly and scaling confidently.

Do you offer ongoing support after setup?
