Who we are

Getting to the bottom of business issues since 2003.

Over the past two decades we’ve worked on all kinds of projects with all kinds of businesses — from sole traders just starting out, to established blue-chip operations with teams of their own.

We have a huge amount of experience using tried-and-tested methods — now combined with the fantastic opportunities AI can bring to a business of any size.

We’re a small company by design. Rather than employing jacks-of-all-trades, we bring in trusted specialists as and when your project needs them — keeping things cost-effective, with a genuine return on your investment.

Look closer

It’s all about the core.

From a distance every flower looks simple and familiar. Look closer at its centre and you’ll find something far more complex — exactly like a business issue. That’s where Legwork starts.

Our approach

You’re never really reinventing the wheel.

Our view is simple: go back to the core and start there — finding the real issue before reaching for a solution.

Creative

Innovative

Once we’ve reviewed the core issue, we present a creative, innovative solution — delivered in a timely, cost-effective way.

Measured

ROI

Every project is tracked against return on investment, not just immediate effectiveness — because the payoff isn’t always instant.

Solutions

Out-of-the-box thinking

Plenty of business “solutions” are old theories repackaged. Legwork’s out-of-the-box thinking gives you something extra.

Our story

Legwork — it’s all in the name.

Following years working for businesses large and small, Kathryn Whatton set up Legwork Marketing Services Ltd in 2003. Our ethos has never changed: match the right external skills to the issue, and do the legwork ourselves.

“A business development and marketing professional with 35 years’ practical experience managing businesses and advising directors and owners — skilled in finance, traditional and social-media marketing, database management, strategy, project management, website development, and now the exciting world of AI.” Kathryn Whatton — Founder, Legwork

Solid foundations — the right base for every project.

How it works

What we can do

Too busy with the day-to-day to do the legwork on a project — or maybe you just need someone for a few days or weeks. Here’s how a project with us typically runs.
