Cambrai is based in Cambridgeshire and works with businesses across Cambridge, Ely, Newmarket, and the surrounding area. Not a remote service. A local one.
Cambridge has always been a city that takes ideas seriously. From the Cavendish Laboratory to the Science Park, from ARM Holdings to the dozens of University spinouts that have reshaped industries — this is a place where intelligent work gets done.
But most businesses in Cambridge and Cambridgeshire aren't tech companies. They're solicitors, estate agents, tradespeople, retailers, caterers, consultants — businesses that run on hard work and good people, and that could benefit enormously from what AI now makes practically possible.
The gap between what's available and what most local businesses are actually using is enormous. That's the gap Cambrai works in. Practical automation, built for real operations, by someone who understands the local economy and charges accordingly.
The city centre and surrounding postcodes. Professional services, retail, hospitality, University-adjacent businesses, and Science Park companies.
Ely high street businesses, rural trades, agricultural enterprises, and the growing professional services sector across the district.
The horse racing industry and its supply chain, hospitality, rural businesses, and Newmarket's distinctive commercial environment.
A strong SME base including professional services, logistics, light manufacturing, and the growing residential and retail economy.
Fast-growing west Cambridgeshire corridor. Strong residential and business base, professional services, trades, and tech-adjacent businesses expanding out from Cambridge.
Agricultural businesses, rural trades, and the agri-tech sector emerging from the Fenlands. Logistics coordination, compliance, reporting.
Solicitors, accountants, financial advisers, consultants. Businesses drowning in admin, document processing, client communication, and reporting. The automation ROI here is often dramatic.
Builders, roofers, plumbers, electricians, cleaners. Businesses that run well on the tools but struggle with the back office — quotes, invoices, bookings, follow-up.
AI automation for trades →Viewing coordination, referencing chases, landlord reporting, tenancy renewals. Cambridge's rental market generates enormous admin volume — most of it automatable.
AI automation for estate agents →Physios, osteopaths, dentists, aesthetic clinics. Enquiry response, appointment reminders, post-treatment follow-up, billing. Patient-facing admin that runs itself.
AI automation for clinics →There's no shortage of AI consultants on LinkedIn. Most of them are in London, charge London rates, and have never spoken to a business owner in Ely or walked a farm in the Fens. They'll send you a strategy deck.
Being local means I can meet you. It means I understand your market, your customers, and what a realistic budget looks like. It means I'm accountable in a way that a remote agency simply isn't.
Cambridge's AI opportunity isn't just in the labs. It's in every business in this area that's still doing something manually that a well-built system would handle automatically.
