About us · since 2003

We started in a garage, and we still answer the phone ourselves.

We’re Philip and Jack Morris. We’ve looked after businesses’ IT since 2003, and now we build the software they run on.

Philip

I wanted to care about more than the bill.

I started out in accounts, at Exxon and Capital Radio, studying CIMA along the way. That led me to selling Pegasus Opera accounts software, then to TMB Computer Services, then to Hampshire Business Computers, where I got more and more involved with computers and networking.

In April 2003 I started my own business, because I wanted to make a difference and to care about more than the bill. I worked out of my garage and slowly built it up. Some of our clients have now been with us for over a decade.

Starting in accounts has never left me. I know what the figures behind a business have to do, and that’s in everything we build.

Jack

Jack builds the systems.

Jack has a natural ability for IT, and for AI in particular. He looks after clients’ IT day to day and builds the applications that run their businesses.

He built Clarke Lane’s quoting app on Microsoft’s Power Apps and SharePoint, and the first version of Gecko HQ. That quoting app was when we discovered what AI could do for people who already know how a business works.

What happened next

After that, we kept building.

Next came proper databases and direct connections to Microsoft 365 and Xero. These systems have changed how the businesses behind them work.

Each one is smarter and more efficient than the last, because everything we learn goes into the next. AI lets two of us build what used to take a team. We still design and check it ourselves, and we still pick up the phone when you need us.
