I help businesses modernise their technology, automate processes, connect systems and make better use of Microsoft 365 and Azure — without making things more complicated than they need to be.
Whether you know exactly what you need or just know something needs to change, I can help you work out the right way forward.
I'm Joe, a Technical Consultant with 19 years' experience delivering everything from small business improvements to large-scale enterprise transformation projects.
I work directly with businesses to understand what they're trying to achieve, identify where technology can help, and then design and deliver a practical solution.
You don't need to know whether the answer is Azure, Microsoft 365, an integration, some automation or something completely bespoke.
Start with the problem. We'll work out the technology afterwards.
Migrate legacy services and make better use of what you're already paying for. Experience across Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, Intune, Entra ID, Azure, Teams Phone, Direct Routing, security, hybrid and on-premises to cloud migrations. Major migration or first step — I can design and deliver the right approach.
If people are copying information between systems, repeating the same tasks daily or maintaining processes that feel far more manual than they should, there is usually a better way. That might be automating your starter and leaver process, synchronising Bubble and HubSpot, or joining several systems into one workflow.
Bespoke business applications, internal tools, portals, integrations and supporting services designed around how your organisation actually works. From a small utility that removes hours of repetitive work to a complete system connecting several platforms. Solve the problem in the simplest, most maintainable way.
Bespoke websites and web applications built with modern technologies, with a focus on performance, usability and maintainability. From straightforward business sites through to e-commerce, portals and complex applications. Hosting is available too, so there's one point of contact for site, infrastructure and everything after.
You don't need to arrive with a solution. A Discovery Workshop is a paid consultancy engagement for businesses that know they need to modernise or improve something but aren't sure what the right approach looks like.
We'll look at where you are today, what isn't working, what you want to achieve and the systems involved. I'll then help turn that into a practical technical direction and roadmap.
And if the best answer is to leave something exactly as it is, I'll tell you that too.
If I don't think you need it, I won't sell it to you.
I've spent 19 years working across ICT, including delivering complex Microsoft transformation projects within the public sector while working for a Microsoft-focused IT consultancy. Projects I've personally delivered have included:
When you work with Geekhost, you work directly with me. There are no layers of account managers, consultants and engineers for your requirements to pass through before reaching the person doing the work.
You get the experience you'd expect from a larger consultancy, without the same overhead or complexity.
Technical decisions can be complicated. Their explanation doesn't need to be.
One of the most important parts of my job is turning technical options into something people can actually understand and make decisions about.
Sometimes the answer is Microsoft 365. Sometimes it's Azure. Sometimes it's an API, an automation or a piece of bespoke software. And sometimes the right thing to do is nothing at all.
My job is to recommend what fits you best.
I'm Joe, a Technical Consultant based in Stoke-on-Trent with 19 years of experience working across Microsoft technologies, cloud, infrastructure, automation, systems integration and software development.
Systems integration is where I'm particularly at home. I enjoy taking technologies that weren't necessarily designed to work together and finding practical ways to make them behave like they were.
I've worked on everything from small business projects to Microsoft migrations involving tens of thousands of users and services. Most consultancy can be delivered remotely anywhere in the UK, with onsite consultancy available where it makes sense.
And despite spending most of my career around complicated technology, I'm a firm believer that the end result should make things simpler.
You don't even need to know what the solution is. Tell me what you're trying to achieve, what's frustrating you today, or what you think your business could be doing better.
We can take it from there.
