Office: 01772 485 348This is my home county. I am based in Preston and work with businesses across Lancashire — Chorley, Leyland, Blackpool, Burnley, Garstang, Lancaster and the towns in between. If missed calls, out-of-hours questions or forgotten follow-ups are costing you work, I will find the smallest useful fix and set it up with you directly.
Website chat £299 + from £49/mo · phone from £149/mo · smaller setups from £199 · usage costs agreed first

Lancashire is not one economy. The coast runs on visitors and hospitality, East Lancashire on manufacturing and trades, the rural north on food, farming and independent firms, and Preston on professional services and everything around the university. What those businesses share is a small team doing the paid work while calls, website questions and follow-ups pile up — which is exactly the routine layer a well-scoped AI setup can take on.
Forward calls while you are on a roof in Burnley or a job in Chorley; the assistant asks the approved first questions and sends the details for a callback, without quoting work you have not seen.

See service scope and customer questions →Send an approved text when nobody can answer, bring web leads and messages into one queue and prompt the next step so quotes stop going cold between busy weeks.
See service scope and customer questions →I am based in Preston, so the whole of Lancashire is genuinely local rather than a claimed territory. Most planning and support happens by phone, WhatsApp or video, and an in-person meeting is practical anywhere in the county when seeing the process would help.
For trades, hospitality, shops and small firms across the county, the useful moment is often while you are on a job, mid-service or driving between Lancashire towns. I map that real handover, build it and test it with you rather than dropping in a generic town-labelled script.
Approved answers can cover services, coverage areas, opening hours and availability, while judgement stays with your team. We define where each update lands and separate setup, support and third-party usage before work starts.
Yes. Preston is my base and the rest of Lancashire — Chorley, Leyland, Blackpool, Burnley, Garstang, Lancaster and the towns between — is a genuine service area rather than a set of branch offices. You deal directly with me wherever in the county you are.
Usually the unglamorous ones: phone cover while you are on a job, website chat that answers approved questions out of hours, missed-call text-back and follow-up reminders. I compare those against simpler software first and recommend the smallest setup likely to fix the delay you can already see.
It can support it honestly: fewer missed enquiries, a faster first reply and follow-ups that stop sliding. That often improves how many quotes get a response, but I do not promise revenue growth — the assistant handles the routine layer while winning the work stays with you.
Guide prices start at £199 for smaller automations, £299 setup plus from £49 a month for website chat and £149 a month for phone answering. Every quote separates setup, monthly and third-party usage costs so a small firm can see the full running cost before agreeing.
Both work. Most discovery, builds and support run well over phone, WhatsApp and video, but because Lancashire is home I can meet in person anywhere in the county when seeing the workflow, premises or team would genuinely improve the scope.
Trades and site-based firms that miss calls while working, hospitality and visitor businesses with seasonal peaks, and small offices, practices and shops handling the same questions all day. The service mix differs, but the starting point is always the same: map where enquiries currently stall, then fix that first.
