About Inquorai

Helping Owners Get Their Time Back

I'm Ian Whitehead. I help business owners take back the time that admin and follow-up steal from them, so more of the week goes into what matters: purpose, freedom and the work they're good at. Inquorai is how I do that for UK home improvement firms, starting with the enquiries they've already paid for.

My Story

From Project Manager to Partner

I've spent more than 10 years as a senior project manager. That work taught me that technology only pays off when you start with the problem, plan properly and measure what changes.

I also coach business owners through Ian Whitehead Coaching. Again and again, the same thing comes up: owners are buried in admin and follow-up, and the time they meant for growth, family or simply a break disappears.

I host Uncharted: The Entrepreneurs Adventure Podcast, where I talk with owners about building a business around purpose and freedom. It's the same theme that runs through all my work.

Inquorai grew out of my coaching. I first used this approach with some of my coaching clients, and the aim was simple: give them hours back so they could protect purpose and freedom in the business, not just work harder inside it.

"Strategy first, then only the changes that earn their keep."

Mission and Values

What We Stand For

We'd rather do one useful thing well than promise everything.

To help UK home improvement firms get more from the enquiries they've already paid for, and give owners their time back.

🎯
Honest numbers
We only show figures we can back up, and we tell you where they came from.
🤝
Partners, not vendors
We start small, and stay for the long term if we're useful.
⚡
Speed matters
Homeowners move on quickly. Replies should go out while interest is warm.
🔍
Straight talking
If it's not a fit, we'll tell you.
🧠
Always learning
We test, measure and improve, one change at a time.
🇬🇧
Built for UK firms
UK English, UK rules on texting customers, and a firm's own name on every message.

Why We Start With Your Old Enquiries

Most home improvement firms pay for leads. Many go quiet after a call or two, and nobody has time to follow them up properly. That's money already spent, sitting in a list.

💰

The leads are already paid for.

No new ad spend to get started.

💬

Texts get read.

Some people won't pick up an unknown number but will reply to a short, friendly text.

🎯

It's a fair test.

A pilot on an agreed batch shows what happens with your own leads, not someone else's.

🚀

It opens the door to more.

Once it's working, we can look at quoting, scheduling and admin. See Beyond the Leads.
