Over 10 years in IT. Now doing it for the small lot.
Marks AI is a one-person operation backed by a serious platform. Looked after by Mark Lovelady, for UK small businesses anywhere.
Most of my career was inside large UK organisations: running platforms, picking technology, building the kind of automation that quietly cuts millions off operating cost. The tools the FTSE-100 use are now cheap enough, and the AI models good enough, that a small business can run on the same stuff. The hard bit is putting it all together properly.
That's what Marks AI is for. I look after a small handful of UK businesses end-to-end (Taylored Hypnotherapy, Bertha Park, and Edinburgh Skyline) building shared infrastructure that every customer benefits from, plus a custom layer on top of each one.
I'm a father of three with a fourth on the way. I started this because I want to support good people running good small businesses, give them the kind of tooling that used to be reserved for big companies, and keep their costs honest. AI is at the front of how I do that, not as a buzzword, but because it's how a one-person operation can quietly look after a portfolio of clients to a very high standard.

Morven's clients find her, book her, pay her.
Mark took care of everything: the digital side, the bookings, the emails. I just had to show up and do my work. That's exactly what I needed.— Morven Taylor · running Taylored Hypnotherapy
UK small businesses of almost any shape.
Trade businesses (mobile mechanics, electricians, joiners, tyre fitters). Therapists and counsellors. Coaches and hypnotherapists. Residents' groups and community organisations. Photographers, consultants, accountants, creatives. If I don't think I can help you, I'll tell you.
I deliberately keep the variety wide. Five therapy sites start to look the same; a therapy practice next to a tyre fitter next to a residents' group force every project to find its own voice. That makes every piece of work better, and the shared infrastructure underneath it stronger, because each new vertical teaches the platform something.
Geographically: anywhere in the UK. I work remotely; we use WhatsApp, email and the occasional video call. The work is the same wherever you are.
