Suffolk & the East of England

AI training for small businesses in Suffolk.

Practical, in-person help to get AI actually working in your business — no jargon, no code, and no consultant who's never run one. A free hour to look first, a two-day weekend to build, and on-site help if you want it. Across Ipswich, Suffolk and the East.

Sound familiar?

You've heard about AI for two years and quietly not got on board.

You had a go on ChatGPT once, got a load of waffle back, thought is that it, and never went back. Meanwhile everyone at the networking breakfast is banging on about it and you're nodding along.

Here's the truth of it: you didn't fail at AI. Nobody ever showed you what it looks like pointed at your business — the quotes, the enquiries, the invoice-chasing, the job adverts. That's all this is. AI aimed at the boring, weekly jobs that eat your evenings, taught by someone who runs real businesses in Suffolk.

What it actually does

The jobs AI is genuinely good at for a small business.

Conservative, and none of it needs any technical work:

Local

Based in Suffolk, working across the East.

I'm in Suffolk and I work across the East of England — Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Colchester, Norwich and the towns in between. The two-day weekend runs at Ipswich Town Football Club, Portman Road, and the on-site days happen at your place. Everything's tested on my own businesses here first.

Who's running it

Paul Rudland & Halstead Ottley.

Paul — twenty-five years self-employed in IT, building AI into how his own businesses run: investment software, landlord compliance, a wedding venue, a café, drone services and property.

Halstead — 35+ years in property and mentoring, with a knack for spotting what's actually holding a business back and fixing the real problem. Between us: the tech and the business sense, in the room together.

The questions people ask

Straight answers.

Do I need to be technical?

No. If you can use email and a browser, you're in. We go step by step, and there's never more than fifteen in the room.

Where in the East do you cover?

Suffolk and the wider East of England — Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Colchester, Norwich and around. The webinar's online, the weekend's at Ipswich Town FC, and on-site days come to you.

I tried ChatGPT and got nothing useful — is this different?

Yes, because most disappointment with AI is a briefing problem, not the tool. Show you how to ask properly and point it at a real job in your business, and it changes completely. That's exactly what we do.

What does it cost?

The webinar is free. The two-day Website Weekend is £1,170 (no VAT — we're not VAT registered). On-site days start at £1,100. Start with the free hour and decide from there.
