AI is boosting productivity.
Get your team using it safely in weeks, not months.
Your team is already using AI, whether you’ve planned for it or not.
The priority now is simple: use it safely, and get everyone confident and productive without risking your data or reputation. In a matter of weeks, AI Kickstart takes you from scattered, ad hoc use to a safe, practical setup your whole team can rely on.
Your team is already using AI
Your team may be putting company information into free tools like ChatGPT right now. AI Kickstart sets clear rules for what can go where, so everyday use stops being a quiet risk.
Nobody owns the risk
Without a policy, a simple AI register and a named route for problems, the risk sits with no one until something goes wrong. We give it an owner and a clear paper trail.
You can't yet show you're in control
Clients, insurers and regulators are starting to ask how you govern AI. We give you the evidence to answer them before they ask.
84%
of small businesses using AI say increased efficiency and productivity is the main benefit they see, yet only 14% have it properly embedded in how they work (Goldman Sachs, 2026).
40%
Nearly 40% of all interactions with AI tools involve sensitive company data (Cyberhaven, 2026).
1 in 3
Only around 1 in 3 organisations (31%) have a formal, comprehensive AI policy in place, even though 83% of IT and business professionals say their staff are already using AI (ISACA, 2025).
Our AI Kickstart Service
We know AI can feel overwhelming.
Your staff may already be using tools like ChatGPT or Claude with no real guidance, you know that carries a risk, and you’re not sure where to start. That’s where we come in, as your local IT partner – ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 27001 (Information Security) and Cyber Essentials Plus certified.
We start by listening.
We get to know your goals, the tools your team already uses and the kind of data you work with, then focus on the everyday tasks where AI will make the biggest difference. We set everything up properly and securely, agree sensible ground rules, and sit down with your team so they come away confident and able to keep going on their own.
Working with us is like having your own AI adoption partner, an award-winning IT team and a clear set of guard rails – all at a fraction of the cost and hassle of working it out alone.
We cover a lot in an AI Kickstart project,
but the kind of everyday wins your team will typically see include:
Drafting and replying to emails, letters and proposals in a fraction of the time.
Turning long reports and documents into clear summaries in seconds.
Getting quick answers from your own files, emails and SharePoint.
Tidying up spreadsheets and turning meeting notes into actions, without the manual slog.
Built on Claude for Work
We build AI Kickstart around Claude for Work, the team plan from Anthropic. It gives you a clear, predictable subscription, proper admin controls and a secure connection to Microsoft 365, so it works with the files, emails and Teams messages your team already relies on. Your conversations stay private to your business and are never used to train AI models. As always, we’ll talk to you in plain English and recommend what genuinely fits.
Adopting AI is easier than you think
We understand that adopting AI can feel daunting, especially when your team is already busy and the tools seem to change by the week. We make the process as simple and stress-free as possible, handling the technical side and giving your team the confidence to use AI well.
We’ll get to know how you work, set up Claude for Work securely, connect it to the systems you already use, and put clear, plain-English rules in place for what should and shouldn’t be shared. We’ll train your team, give them a starter prompt library to build on, and leave everything documented so you’re set up to keep going long after the project ends.
Who it's for
AI Kickstart is built for small businesses at the start of their AI journey who want to get going in a controlled, safe way. It’s a great fit for computer-based teams who want practical, everyday wins, and for owners who’d rather get ahead of AI than leave it to chance.
What you'll get
- A safe, well-governed AI setup your whole team can use with confidence
- More done with the team you already have, so you can grow without adding headcount
- Hours back each week on the repetitive admin that slows everyone down
- Peace of mind that your business data is protected from day one
