Preparing for technical due diligence isn't a last-minute scramble; it's a strategic process. It requires transforming your technology from a simple operational function into a compelling asset that de-risks the investment and proves your capacity for disciplined growth.

Optimising a subscription business is a continuous process of refinement. It requires a deep, hands-on understanding of both the customer lifecycle and the technology that powers it.

Testimonials
Neil Bradley was with Absolute Collagen for several years and I highly recommend him as he is technically strong and has a strong commercial approach.
Neil has consistently brought practical technical expertise, alongside strategic technological insights, that have fundamentally helped contribute to, build and deliver digital first strategies.
Neil is in my opinion a rare commodity, given the breadth of his knowledge, professional integrity and genuine want to add value.
I would thoroughly recommend Neil to any fast growing e-commerce business; where the balance between technological opportunity and budget, is needing both experienced advice and careful management.
I had the pleasure of working with Neil over a two year period at Cloud Nine Hair. In particular he worked closely with myself and my team on a number of system integration projects where Neil demonstrated his knowledge and experience of connecting ecommerce platforms, with ERP and CRM solutions.
His resilience, attention to detail and willingness to address issues and find solutions contributed heavily to the success of these projects. Neil connected well with the systems team showing himself to be a very helpful, responsive team player.
I had the pleasure of working with Neil whilst at Absolute Collagen and we were both on the leadership team. Neil came with extensive experience which the Absolute Collagen brand and those who Neil collaborated with benefited from significantly.
Not only is Neil hugely experienced and skilled, with an eye for detail, a problem solution focus and a passion for delivering excellence on all projects he works on, Neil has the ability to build strong relationships cross-functionally, bringing an holistic approach, thinking customer and brand first which was so refreshing.
Working with Neil was not only a huge learning experience of how to bring brand and tech together for leading class results but also his warmth, openness and integrity is something I would say all who work with Neil benefit from and is rare to find.
