The studio
A proven agency, now with a global n8n team inside it. Built for operators who want shipped, not scheduled.
Lock & Quay Collective has spent years shipping paid campaigns, funnels, CRM builds, and conversion systems for serious operators. The automation studio brings together world-class n8n specialists from across the world, who have built automations at scale across finance, eCommerce, SaaS, real estate, and B2B. Enterprise volume, small-team speed.
2 to 3 days
To ship a focused workflow. Execution is not the bottleneck.
2 to 3 weeks
To ship a multi-workflow MVP that others quote six to twelve months for.
Global team
n8n specialists across timezones, working in parallel on your build.
How we ship fast
The time you pay us for is understanding, not typing.
Most agencies invoice for code-writing. Our specialists have shipped the same pattern dozens of times across industries, so the actual build takes one to two days. The valuable work is mapping your stack, your data, and your edge cases. Do that well, and you get faster iterations than most teams can commit to in months.
Day 1 to 2
Understand
Map the stack, the data flow, and the actual bottleneck. Rebuilds are expensive, so we spend the time here first.
Day 3 to 5
Ship
Focused workflow goes live. Custom nodes, self-hosted if required, versioned and webhook-logged from day one.
Week 2 to 3
Full MVP live
Multiple workflows wired together into a working system. The kind of scope most agencies quote six to twelve months for.
Modules, not templates
Every one is live in production.
Nine of our most requested builds. Each adapts to your stack, your data, and your brand. Not the other way round.

Clients on record
What the work has earned.
“Lock & Quay has been great. I run an online info product company and whilst I originally reached out for help with digital ads on Facebook/Instagram, Johnny has shown me how to improve the business from more than just the ads. He's given me great clarity on the full funnel and he's a pleasure to work with. He shows up to our sessions prepared and all the resources he provides are organised in one place. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable we've managed to reach out to partners he works with to help me create copy, analyse my website conversion and a few other super valuable areas. Will definitely work with him again.”
“Lock & Quay are a digital experts. He knows what he is saying, is implementing the strategies for his agency (more than just talking), and has gotten some results. I hope to work with him in the future as we grow.”
“Lock & Quay did an excellent job of wrapping their brain around the project and very quickly delivering some video drafts. He was incredibly responsive to feedback and came up with ideas that improved the project beyond what I'd even envisioned. And right on time too! Will happily hire him again!”
“I hired Lock & Quay to help me write UGC video content and he absolutely delivered. He is very knowledgeable of the eCommerce DTC space and Facebook Ads, and has excellent copywriting skills. He came up with fresh ideas and new marketing angles which was very valuable. Plus, he's smart, efficient, and very pleasant to work with.”
From the studio
Your interests at heart. Always.
“We have spent years building funnels, CRMs, and campaigns that move real revenue. The automation studio is the next chapter. Our team has shipped n8n work at enterprise scale across industries, and we bring that bench to every client, whatever the size.”
Questions
Everything you want to know.
How fast can you actually ship?+
A focused workflow ships in two to three working days from kickoff. A multi-workflow MVP ships in two to three weeks. The bottleneck is rarely the build. It is how quickly we can understand your stack and sign-off on edge cases.
Who is actually on the team?+
A global bench of senior n8n engineers and automation architects who have shipped at enterprise volume across finance, eCommerce, SaaS, real estate, and B2B. You get the specialist who fits your stack, not whoever is on the bench that week.
We already use Zapier, Make, or Pipedream.+
Keep them. n8n is not always a replacement. It is what we reach for when Zapier runs out of runway: custom nodes, self-hosted execution, webhook logic, LLM chains, and workflows that would cost you £600+ per month on a SaaS. We will tell you where Zapier still wins.
We are not technical. Who maintains this?+
We do, monitored inside your instance with alerting. You own the code. If you ever want to take it in-house, every node is documented. No black boxes, no rented logic.
How much does it cost?+
A single module build is typically £1,500 to £4,000 depending on complexity. Retainer packages start at £2,500 per month for teams shipping multiple workflows per quarter. Flat fee, no per-seat surprises. We quote on the 20-min call based on what you actually need.
Can you work with our stack?+
If it has an API or a webhook, we have wired it. In production today: HubSpot, ClickUp, Notion, Slack, Gmail, Fireflies, Apify, SmartLead, Expandi, GoHighLevel, Supabase, Postiz, Clay, and more.
What if it breaks?+
Every workflow is versioned, webhook-logged, and monitored. If a node fails, we see it before you do. Retainer clients get a 24-hour SLA on production incidents.
