Founder & Principal Consultant (Part-Time)
Claret-Scott & Co is my own consultancy, working directly with UK businesses on bespoke software, security, and GDPR. It is also the company behind enhost, the award-winning web hosting business I have run since 2016.
Technically it runs on Proxmox with LXC containers, Ansible, OpenTofu, and NixOS, monitored with VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, and Loki, with PHP and Laravel for client work and MCP for AI integrations.
I own every client relationship end to end, from scoping and commercials through delivery and ongoing support, and advise on GDPR so that what I build stands up to scrutiny. On the hosting side that extends to contracts, suppliers, on-call, runbooks, and post-incident reviews, on ICO registered infrastructure hosted entirely in the UK. I have also guided clients through AI adoption, from automated workflows to branded in-app chatbots built on custom system prompting.
- I won 'Web Hosting Company of the Year 2024 - UK' from The Developer Awards.
