Main entrance · Howden Community Hub
One vision. Several doors.
Jobs. Care. Kit. Practice.
This is the front door to everything Michael is building on Tyneside: a jobs engine in software, a volume cleaning business that pays people, a charity that multiplies prosperity for new parents, second-hand technology so people stay online — and a games shelf that proves what a 12-year-old can build in one night.
Serious pillars — plus games that prove what newbies can ship. Pick where you want to go; each site has its own look, same mission underneath.
01 · Jobs & products
The jobs engine. Data, logistics, and field-services software — plus websites and real client work that fund junior roles. Everyone welcome; space to think differently. CVs are a core priority. Start with passions in data & logistics; take any problem great or small.
02 · Volume & reach
Market sweet-spot packs (£30 / 2 hours) for maximum reach. Every pound to cleaner fees — zero founder draw. First area: Howden Ward, from Howden Community Hub. Commercial wins can fund charity and grow the cycle.
03 · Multiply impact
Free two-hour welcome-home cleans for new parents — born from Michael’s own rough times and the weeks after Lewis, Katie, and Harriet. Not a one-off gift: cleaners get paid work, software gets proven, prosperity multiplies. Starting Howden Ward (~150 births/yr est.).
04 · Kit that works
Still-working second-hand computers at low prices. For-profit on purpose — surplus funds appeals for free gear when the story warrants it. Stay online for school, work, and life.
05 · What newbies can do
Built completely and 100% by my son Lewis in one night, from a standing start, aged 12. That is what I can teach newbies — real code, real games, real proof.
One ecosystem. Cleaning creates volume and paid hours. Charity multiplies care and demand. Software trains people and runs the ops. Games prove what a standing start can become in one focused night.
Volume work at market rates. Pay cleaners. Find commercial contracts. Feed surplus and proof into charity and software.
Free welcome-home cleans for new parents. Paid cleaner hours. The “why” that makes money multiply instead of disappear.
Field services, data, websites, training on the job. Jobs and strong CVs — expand wherever the work is.
Michael grew up in Seaham watching old industries go and too much reliance on subsidies. Career path: CloudTrade (£25.8m exit), Head of Engineering at Advanced, CTO & Co-Founder of Cloud Connect Software (independent company — main income that fuels this dream).
The goal is bigger than another exit: jobs and capability on Tyneside — for people entering work, for neurodivergent minds that need space to think differently, and for families who just need two hours of peace after a baby arrives.
Based at Howden Community Hub. First service area: Howden Ward. Then the next ward — as far as it keeps working.
“You have a real story… you want to share and give back.”
