Elephas Consultancy is Leonard Hulley: a Microsoft-stack engineer who has spent more than 20 years building and integrating business systems, and has worked with Dynamics CRM and Dynamics 365 since 2013.
He learned the trade in small businesses — writing property data feeds for estate agents, building a complete business system for a network of advertising screens largely on his own, and co-founding Infobox Media, a consultancy for direct clients and digital agencies. In 2013 a CRM programme at the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy brought him into Dynamics. From 2014 to 2017 he was at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, recovering its ticketing and CRM programme and then running its IT programme.
Elephas began trading in the UK in 2014, became his full-time business when he moved to Sweden in 2017, and was incorporated as Elephas Consultancy AB in 2021. Since then the work has included National Highways, Southern Communications Group, Argyll, UK heritage attractions, and Microsoft partners in the UK and Sweden — see the case studies.
When you hire Elephas, you talk directly to the person who builds. No sales layer, no juniors learning at your expense, no handovers where details go missing. What we do have is modern AI tooling that gives a single senior engineer the capacity of a team — read how that works.
The name? The elephant stands for memory, strength and patience — qualities we think belong in good software and long client relationships.
What clients tend to find
More technical than the brief
Hired at Kew as a project manager, Leonard ended up designing the integration layer and building half of it. Clients get someone who can run the work and write it.
Kept on when contracts change
At National Highways and again at Argyll, the incoming supplier's first step was to keep the engineer who already knew the system.
Relationships that last
Work with Gateway Ticketing Systems has run since 2017, with Southern Communications Group since 2018, and with Argyll since 2020.
What we stand for
Honesty
We say no when something isn't needed, and recommend the cheaper option when it's enough. Trust is worth more than an invoice.
Craft
Every line of code is reviewed by experienced eyes. Accessibility, testing and monitoring are part of the delivery — not add-ons.
Curiosity
We work AI-first and share what we learn. The technology moves fast — our job is to know what actually works.
