About Altrincham AI

Commercial first. Technology second.

Altrincham AI exists because most businesses don't need more AI hype — they need someone commercial who can find the payback, build the system, and hand over the keys.

The story

Run by someone who's run businesses.

Altrincham AI was founded by Chris Matthews — 25 years in sales and commercial roles, a business owner himself, and based in Altrincham, Greater Manchester.

That background shapes how we work. We don't start with technology; we start with the commercial question: where is this business losing time and money, and what's the fastest credible fix? Sometimes the answer is a sophisticated AI system. Sometimes it's a simple automation built in a week. We'll always tell you which — including when the answer is "you don't need us for this."

Everything we build follows the same three-stage discipline: design the right solution, build it around the tools you already use, and deploy it with your team trained to run it. The capability stays with you.

Principles

How we work.

Fixed pricing, always

Scope and price agreed before we start. If it changes, we re-agree it — you're never on a meter.

Plain English

If we can't explain it simply, we don't understand it well enough to build it for you.

Independence by design

Training and documentation come with every build. Good consultancies make themselves unnecessary.
