Ok, so some great news 👇
https://prezencestudios.co.uk is officially live.
I’ve made a big decision — a career change, leaning into the times we’re in, seizing an opportunity, and finally following something that’s sparked my interest for a long while.
For years I’ve been in cooking and hospitality. It’s been amazing. But it’s time for a change — one aimed at spending more time with my family and enjoying life’s little things.
Being a chef and running hospitality businesses gives you a broad skill set, and the lessons are often hard-learnt. Over the years I’ve bought and used just about every business tech solution going — websites, point-of-sale, operations software, accountancy tools, government compliance systems and more.
So I took those hard lessons and my experience using this tech as an owner-operator, and I built Prezence Studios.
Here’s the thing I really believe: AI isn’t something to be afraid of or to put off. It’s a tool — a genuinely powerful one — and it’s here to stay. The businesses that lean into it now will be the ones still standing and thriving in a few years. My job is to make that accessible and affordable for small local businesses who don’t have time to figure it all out themselves.
If you know someone who runs a small business — a groomer, a barber, a tradesperson, a café — who could use a modern website that actually works for them, I’d be so grateful if you’d share this or tag them below. A share costs nothing and genuinely helps me get this off the ground. 🙏
Thanks for reading, and thanks for the support — it means more than you know.
James
