Ten years running companies first.
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.
Lockhart is the business I built to do that work for other owners. It also works inside Sunbird Solar as its systems and operations consultant, where I built its website, a CEO dashboard, a project delivery system, a procurement portal and a handover builder.
I’m based between Ballito and Harare, and I work with owner-led businesses from Umhlanga and Durban across KwaZulu-Natal, in Harare, and further afield in Southern Africa.
Outside client work, I build things for fun. The latest is a storytelling game for my niece, where her own dragon stars in every chapter, drawn entirely in code.

How I work
-
You deal with me. From the first call to go-live, there’s no one to be handed over to.
-
A fixed price and a fixed date, in writing, before I start. Every price is on the site, in rand and dollars, with no VAT added.
-
You own everything, and you can leave. Your domain, your website and your data are yours. Care plans run month to month with 30 days’ notice, and if you leave, I hand it all over in your name, so it keeps running without me.
-
A reply the same working day, on WhatsApp, whether I’m in Ballito or Harare.
-
Nothing goes live until I’ve checked it myself, on a real phone, at every screen size.
-
Your figures stay private. Case studies use made-up numbers unless a client agrees otherwise.
