An operator, not an agency.

Lockhart is Luke Buckley: one senior person who has owned and run businesses, building the websites, assistants and systems he wishes he’d had.

For more than ten years I owned and ran a group of companies.

The work that made them more efficient and more profitable was rarely glamorous: knowing the numbers every day, quoting faster, buying better and making sure no enquiry fell through the cracks. Most of it came down to systems.
