Penny's London tip
London businesses have the most to gain from AI transformation because everything costs more. Every admin role you replace with AI saves 40–60% more than the same restructuring elsewhere. I helped a Soho marketing agency replace their receptionist, bookkeeper, and social media manager with AI tools. The three roles cost £95,000/year in London salaries. AI alternatives: £200/month. That's the London AI advantage — the savings are proportionally massive.
