About Prospect Orbit
There’s always a better way.
Better websites. Smarter processes. New opportunities.
Businesses are constantly evolving, but the technology supporting them doesn’t always keep up. Outdated websites, time-consuming processes and untapped information can all hold a business back.
Prospect Orbit was created to help change that.
We design distinctive websites, develop practical software and automation, and use data to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
But our approach goes beyond simply building technology. We take the time to understand how a business works, where improvements can be made and what will actually help it move forward.
Because the best solutions don’t start with technology. They start with understanding the business.
The person behind Prospect Orbit
Built on experience. Driven by better ways of working.
I’ve always been fascinated by finding better ways to do things.
Whether that’s simplifying a complicated process, automating repetitive work or exploring how emerging technology can solve everyday problems, I’ve always believed there’s usually a smarter way forward.
That mindset followed me throughout my career in financial services, where I gained firsthand experience of how businesses operate behind the scenes. Working across investment operations, financial planning and team leadership, I saw how much time and effort could be lost to outdated systems, manual processes and unnecessary complexity.
Rather than accepting those inefficiencies, I began developing solutions to address them.
Using Excel, VBA and process automation, I built tools that streamlined workflows, improved accuracy and reduced repetitive administration. In one previous role, the reporting improvements I introduced were estimated to save over 1,200 working hours annually.
Seeing the difference these improvements could make fundamentally shaped how I think about technology.
And as artificial intelligence, modern software development and data analytics have advanced, the possibilities have become even more exciting.
That’s what inspired me to establish Prospect Orbit.
I wanted to take the same practical, problem-solving approach I’d developed throughout my career and apply it to helping other businesses.
From creating distinctive websites and developing bespoke applications to improving internal processes and uncovering opportunities through data, Prospect Orbit is built around a simple principle:
Understand the business. Identify the opportunity. Build something that makes a difference.
My background includes over six years in financial services, a BA (Hons) in Finance & Economics and a CII Level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning. Those experiences have shaped my approach to business, particularly the importance of accuracy, attention to detail and delivering work to a high standard.
But ultimately, what drives me isn’t the technology itself. It’s seeing what businesses can achieve when they start using it effectively.

How we work
What you can expect.
Plain English
No jargon in our emails, quotes or the websites we write.
Price agreed first
A fixed quote in writing before work starts. Anything extra is agreed before it is done.
Evidence over hype
We measure before we recommend, and test from the outside before we call it finished.
Privacy by default
No tracking unless you ask for it.
You own it
Domain, hosting and accounts in your name. You are never locked in.
Here afterwards
Handover, or a care plan that keeps it healthy and improving.
Looking ahead
We’re only getting started.
Our ambitions reach well beyond websites. We’re working towards a future where businesses can better understand their markets, spot new opportunities and make more informed decisions through intelligent technology.
Behind the scenes, we’re developing an intelligent business platform that brings together business data, useful insight and artificial intelligence, making information easier to explore, understand and act on.

Kepler AI
In development
Meet Kepler, our AI assistant.
Kepler is being designed to help businesses make sense of what they know, and find what they’ve been missing. It will help you:
- Navigate complex information
- Recognise meaningful patterns
- Uncover opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed
Our ambition is simple: to make powerful business intelligence more accessible, practical and valuable to businesses of all sizes.
Why Kepler?
Named after Johannes Kepler, whose work explained how planets move in orbit, Kepler is a natural fit for Prospect Orbit. It is being built to bring scattered information into a clearer system, reveal the patterns within it and help businesses see which opportunities belong in their orbit.
And this is only the beginning. There’s plenty more taking shape behind the scenes, and we’re looking forward to sharing what’s next.
