Deep understanding of your business
I take the time to understand your goals and challenges and become an extension of your team.
About
Trusted IT leadership, business first
I'm James Howes, founder of Howes IT. I bring trusted IT leadership experience to founders, MDs, CEOs, COOs and CFOs who know their IT hasn't kept pace with the business.
Why me?
Over 20 years in IT
Over two decades I've built a powerful toolkit for transforming businesses: building secure infrastructure, streamlining operations, and creating IT strategies and roadmaps that work in the real world.
But my expertise goes beyond technical know-how. I'm passionate about empowering in-house teams. Through coaching and mentoring, I help IT people unlock their full potential, so they can tackle complex projects and reduce reliance on external resources, saving you valuable budget.
I also understand that change can be disruptive. I'll guide your business through IT upgrades, make sure your processes and teams are ready for what's new, and help navigate resistance to change, building a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.
What sets me apart
How I work with you
Expert guidance in plain English
Extensive experience creating IT strategies that work. I speak your language, not just tech jargon.
Tailored solutions
A roadmap that fits your budget and vision, getting maximum value from every pound spent.
An IT team firing on all cylinders
I support and develop your existing IT team through coaching and mentoring so they can reach their full potential.
Focus on growth
IT should be an investment, not a burden. My goal is to help your business reach its full potential.
Confidence and control
Know your IT is in expert hands, so you can focus on what matters most: running your business.
What I believe
Work with the IT team. Create capacity. Focus on value. Keep momentum.
Good IT people are often stuck firefighting because the business around them rewards it. Give them time, clear priorities and business ownership, and they'll start removing problems instead of just servicing them.
