About · Colchester

I'm Charlie Reed. I help small businesses get their evenings back.

Back by Teatime is me, Charlie Reed, in Colchester. I come to you, find the jobs eating your evenings, set up AI to take them off your hands, then look after it.

Or call 01206 636 400, or , my AI assistant.

Why Back by Teatime

Your evenings back. Home for tea.

Many owners end up doing the admin at night: the missed calls, the quotes, the invoices, the bookings. AI can take a lot of that on, but working out what's worth doing, and setting it up, takes time most owners don't have. So I do that part, in person, and look after it. The name is the promise.

I come to you

We sit down at your place for an hour or two, and you talk me through a normal week. Then I set up what's worth doing, and nothing that isn't.

Nothing new to learn

It works with your phone, your own calendar and WhatsApp. You carry on the way you do now, with less to do.

A fixed quote first

Nothing starts until you've agreed the price. I'm not VAT registered, so there's no VAT to add.

Every assistant says it's an AI

Customers always know. Anything awkward or important goes straight to you.

Yours to keep

Your accounts, your phone number and your data stay in your name. Nothing is held back if you leave, and I never touch your email.

You see it working first

In person, before the final bill. Then I keep it running, month to month.

Founding clients wanted

I'm looking for five Colchester businesses to work with first: a free Time Audit and setup at founding prices, in return for honest feedback and, if you're happy, a short testimonial.

Apply

I work across Colchester and the towns and villages nearby: see the areas I cover. Prices are on one page.
