    Liam, Cottonmill founder

    Hi, I'm Liam.

    I've spent 20 years running a digital agency that produces work for large enterprise clients, and I've automated most of my own back office - payroll journals, cashflow forecasting, inbox triage, client reporting - using the same tools I'll put into your business. I wrote the book Stop Thinking Like a Freelancer, and I run Cottonmill from The Bank Building in Padiham.

    Based in Padiham. On site anywhere in the North West.
