Practical AI, software and IT for medium-sized UK businesses.

What we do
Three services, one way of working.
Understand the work first. Then choose the technology that helps it happen, and nothing more.
AI consultancy
Find the one piece of work where AI would genuinely help, and plan a pilot with a measurable outcome.
In practice Millwright grew out of this work: the repetitive, screen-based tasks in back-office software that people want to hand over but still need to supervise.
Software development
Applications and integrations that connect your systems and fit the way your team already works.
In practice Before Fortuna Pace, Justin led an ERP programme for an office supplies dealer that connected EPOS, stock, finance and B2B and B2C online ordering for around 30 users.
Technology services
Infrastructure, cloud and on-premise environments designed, delivered and kept running.
In practice Justin founded and ran a managed IT and telecoms provider for 21 years, serving businesses across Lancashire and Greater Manchester, before its sale in 2024.

In development · illustrative walkthroughWho you’ll work with
Built by someone who ran an IT provider for 21 years.
Justin founded Seriun in 2003 and spent 21 years building it into a managed IT and telecoms provider for businesses across Lancashire and Greater Manchester, before its sale in 2024.
Fortuna Pace is what came next: the same standard of service, rebuilt around AI. We start with the problem, not the model. We build the smallest change that moves the number, and we stay to run and improve it.
