Warrior Training — website refresh and brand launch
Website Refresh & Brand Launch Fitness & Wellness

Helping Warrior Training bring a new brand into the customer journey

Warrior Training already had a website, but they were launching a second brand within the gym and needed it to feel connected while still standing apart. The challenge was to make both offers clear to visitors without creating a confusing or disconnected experience.

Node 9 worked within the existing Squarespace site to refresh the design, update the navigation and create new pages for the second brand. Using CSS, colour changes, updated imagery and a consistent page structure, the new brand was given its own identity while still feeling part of the wider Warrior Training website.

  • Created a clearer website journey across two connected fitness brands
  • Refreshed the design using the existing Squarespace platform, avoiding the need for a full rebuild
  • Provided ongoing support across SEO, content updates, Google Analytics and future ecommerce planning

"Node9 helped us refresh our website in a practical and effective way, allowing us to bring a new brand into the customer journey without losing the feel of the main Warrior Training site. Toby understood what we were trying to achieve and helped us make the site clearer, more professional and easier for members and visitors to navigate."

ESA — food procurement data coaching
Data Coaching Education & Food Procurement

Making food procurement data easier to understand

ESA — École Supérieure d'Agronome — needed students to understand how data works in real food and procurement environments, not just in theory.

Node 9 delivered an interactive online classroom session covering SKUs, allergens, version control, traceability, supply chain movement and sustainable food procurement. The focus was on helping students understand the journey of food data from source to supplier, through manufacturing, transport, procurement systems and reporting.

  • Helped students connect data theory to real-world food and supply chain scenarios
  • Explained why traceability, version control and data quality matter in food procurement
  • Led to a further invitation to support the programme again the following year

"Toby brought real-world experience into the session and helped students understand how data, procurement and supply chains connect in practice. His ability to explain complex food data topics, from SKUs and allergens to traceability and sustainability, made the session engaging, relevant and easy to follow."

Fortitude — specialist security business website
Website Build & Hosting Security & Risk Management

Building a discreet digital presence for a specialist security business

Fortitude Bespoke Solutions & Risk Management needed a professional website for a new private security business operating in Dubai and the UAE. The business works in a sensitive market, so the site needed to feel premium, discreet and trustworthy from day one.

  • Built a polished online presence for a new specialist business
  • Created a secure private enquiry journey using Azure communication services
  • Added analytics, SEO support and monthly security reviews to support ongoing improvement

TeRoc — procurement intelligence platform
SaaS Product Build Procurement & Intelligence

Building TeRoc: turning procurement expertise into a working product

Nelson La Rochelle had deep procurement experience and recognised a problem: smaller businesses lack the tools and visibility to manage supplier risk. Larger organisations have dedicated teams and monitoring processes. Smaller ones often don't—until supplier issues become costly.

Node 9 partnered with Nelson to build TeRoc, a procurement intelligence platform that brings together supplier records, market news, risk information and AI-supported workflows. The platform helps businesses spot procurement issues earlier and make better decisions. Node 9 supported the product from initial concept through to beta, working across product thinking, Azure infrastructure, database design and application development.

  • Built a secure, scalable SaaS platform connecting supplier data, market intelligence and AI workflows
  • Created a working product now in beta testing, turning specialised knowledge into a digital solution
  • Established a technical foundation spanning multiple connected applications—public site, secure app, documentation and admin systems

"Node9 has been a key technology partner in helping us turn procurement experience into a working SaaS product. Toby brings a rare mix of procurement understanding, technical knowledge and practical product thinking, helping us move TeRoc from an idea into a secure, Azure-based platform now in beta testing."

— James Kennedy, Co-Founder, TeRoc
