About us
OUR STORY
Hi, I’m Karen, founder of Everything Sorted Group Ltd.
Before this business existed, I already knew one thing: if I ever ran my own agency, I’d do it differently.
I’d seen how traditional agency models worked - high overheads, layers of process and clients often paying for more structure than they actually needed. No bad intentions, just an expensive model.
I wanted something leaner, clearer and more accountable.
Advice that made commercial sense and work that earned its place.
In 2016, after three redundancies, the decision was made for me.
So I asked a simple question: “What’s the marketing plan now?” There wasn’t one.
I offered to step in on a consultancy basis. They said yes. Two former employers said yes too. And Sorted Freelance was born. This was not as a stop-gap, but the start of building the kind of business I’d wanted to create all along.
From Sorted Freelance to Everything Sorted
Clients kept saying the same thing, “you’ve sorted everything, and it became my sign-off. All sorted.
That naturally became my sign-off: All sorted.
As the work expanded from marketing into websites, branding and wider commercial support, the original name no longer fit. By December 2018, the business had evolved into Everything Sorted Group Ltd, because that’s what we were doing. Bringing strategy, design and delivery together properly.
So, in December 2018, the company name changed to Everything Sorted Group Ltd, because by then, that's exactly what we were doing: helping businesses attract customers, build credibility, and grow through websites that work, branding that stands out, and marketing that delivers.
When Peter Joined
In 2020, the business shifted again. Peter had built his career in software engineering and technical business development, working on complex systems and contributing to major million pound commercial wins, earning industry recognition along the way.
When I mentioned I needed a stronger website, he built one which was faster, cleaner and technically solid.
Clients started asking for the same. What began as support quickly became part of the core offer. In December 2021, Peter officially joined as Technical & Development Director.
Today, I lead the marketing and design side, Peter looks after all the technical and development and sales side.
In December 2021, Peter officially joined the business as our Technical & Development Director.
Today
Everything Sorted is now a specialist design and marketing consultancy for established SMEs who want things done properly.
- Websites that perform.
- Design that builds credibility.
- Marketing that supports real growth.
There are no unnecessary layers, no inflated retainers and no drama! Just clear thinking, solid execution and work that stands up commercially.
All sorted.

OUR STORY

I wanted something leaner, clearer and more accountable. Advice that made commercial sense and work that earned its place.
In 2016, after three redundancies, the decision was made for me.
Each of those businesses still needed marketing. What they didn’t need was another full-time senior salary. And once that role disappeared, there was no proper plan in place.
So I asked a simple question: “What’s the marketing plan now?” There wasn’t one.
I offered to step in on a consultancy basis. They said yes. Two former employers said yes too. And Sorted Freelance was born. This was not as a stop-gap, but the start of building the kind of business I’d wanted to create all along.
