About Me

I deliver software. I've been doing it for many years. With substantial experience as a programmer, solutions architect, entrepreneur and business consultant I bring together everyone involved in large software projects, get people communicating and get things done.

I work as an independent consultant and my record in tough business environments speaks for itself. If you have a tricky project that has to be brought in on time and within budget then my skills and experience are an essential part of your plan. Contact me using any method at the top of this page.

What People Are Saying

Toby and I worked together on one of the most successful and effective Multi-Channel Retail programmes of recent years where as part of the Charteris team we helped the client grow online revenues from approx £20m to £100m in just 18 months. Toby led the architectural and design effort and showed an exceptional combination of both technical and customer facing acumen. I would readily recommend him for his professionalism and all round work ethic.

I've worked closely with Toby on a number of projects and found him to be passionate about technology and highly focused on delivering outstanding technology solutions that provide great business benefits.

Toby was a pleasure to work with and his domain expertise and ability to articulate key points was immaculate. He possesses that all too rare ability to blend deep architectural skill and knowledge with the fundamentals of commercial awareness and business acumen.

I would not hesitate to work with Toby again.

Jon Harper — Application Architect at CSC Consulting



I have no hesitation in recommending Toby. I worked with him for eighteen months on the GAME project and I found him to be approachable yet straight to the point and someone who had a great skill in representing his team of developers whilst delivering solutions to problems that were both technically and commercially astute. Toby never takes his eye off the ultimate goal of the projects that he works on and this makes him a focal point for bringing together stakeholders of all levels and departments to decide on architecture and strategy as well as tactical moves that are always still pointed towards that end goal. With a foundation of superb technical knowledge, all of this means that Toby is a trusted and valuable senior member of any team.
