Background
WorkWise was founded by Mark Renwick after many years working in digital project management and website design. Throughout his career, Mark discovered that the part he enjoyed most wasn’t simply delivering digital projects – it was helping people turn ideas into something structured, practical and achievable.
With extensive experience bridging the gap between technical teams and non‑technical decision makers, he saw how often small business owners felt overwhelmed by their digital responsibilities. Starting WorkWise gave him the freedom to focus on meaningful projects and long‑term relationships, offering a calm, personal and flexible approach that small businesses often struggle to find.
Support
WorkWise specialises in simplifying the digital world for small businesses through two core service pathways: full end‑to‑end website planning, design and build, and ongoing website management. Mark’s aim is to take the pressure off clients so they can focus on running and growing their business rather than wrestling with technology or admin.
During the early stages of shaping WorkWise, support from the hive provided helpful reassurance and space to refine his direction. As Mark reflects, “I wanted the freedom to choose projects that genuinely made a difference… Starting my own business allowed me to combine my experience with a more personal, flexible approach.” the hive’s guidance complemented his own vision, offering encouragement without steering the business away from what he knew it needed to be.
The experience
Running WorkWise has given Mark the opportunity to work closely with clients and see the real impact of the support he provides. One of the most rewarding aspects for him is watching clients gain confidence in their websites and understand the potential of their digital presence. As he puts it, “Helping someone feel more confident with their website, and understanding its potential, is incredibly rewarding.”
He also values the flexibility that comes with running his own business. It allows him to shape his workload around his life, prioritise quality over quantity and choose projects that align with his values. Every client brings something different, keeping the work varied, engaging and full of opportunities to learn while delivering meaningful, practical support that genuinely helps businesses move forward.
