    Meet Dicky

    Dicky Broadhurst, founder of Fruitful AI

    I have done the jobs I now automate.

    For seven years, I built and ran Morse Toad, a personalised chocolate company. It turned over £2 million in its lifetime.

    • I created the brand and the product.

      Branding, product design and sourcing.

    • I made the product.

      Manufacturing, inventory and logistics.

    • I marketed it.

      Retail partners, corporate clients and digital marketing.

    • I ran the team.

      Facilities, HR and health and safety.

    • I ran the numbers.

      Accounts, payroll and finance.

    When AI tools arrived, I saw what they would have meant for a business like Morse Toad. I have been building with them ever since.

    Some of the workflows I have built include content creation, job search, outreach, data management, lead capture and internal admin.

    This isn't for everyone

    I work best with leaders who want working AI systems, not strategy documents.

    Not a fit if:

    • You are looking for a quick, one-off presentation and a generic PDF guide.
    • You want to outsource all ownership without having your team learn how to manage the tools.
    • You are comparing agencies solely on who provides the cheapest baseline quote.
    • You want a 50-page strategy deck with zero working software attached to it.

    A good fit if:

    • You are an owner, director, or operational leader looking to solve specific workflow bottlenecks.
    • You want custom automated systems built, tested, and integrated directly into your existing setup.
    • You value building long-term internal capability over relying on external support forever.
    • You want a hands-on partner who builds the engine with you and makes sure your team knows how to drive it.
