n8n workflows, shipped in days
Workflows that
land in days,
not quarters.
Lock & Quay Collective has been building funnels, CRMs, and campaigns for serious operators since 2022. A global bench of n8n specialists now runs inside the studio. A focused workflow ships in two to three days. A full MVP ships in two to three weeks.

01The studio
A proven agency, with a global n8n bench running inside.
Lock & Quay Collective has spent years shipping paid campaigns, funnels, CRM builds, and conversion systems for operators who measure in revenue, not reports. The automation studio brings together senior n8n engineers working across finance, eCommerce, SaaS, real estate, and B2B. The same bench. Every build.
Takeaway: the hard part of automation is never the code. It is the mapping, the edge cases, and the iteration. A senior specialist gets those right the first time.
2 to 3 days
From kickoff to a live, versioned, webhook-logged workflow.
2 to 3 weeks
For a full MVP: several workflows wired together and shipped.
Global bench
Parallel work across timezones so your project never sleeps.
02How we ship fast
The time you pay us for is understanding, not typing.
Most agencies invoice for build hours. Our bench has shipped the same patterns across dozens of stacks, so the build itself is fast. The work that determines whether your automation survives contact with reality is the mapping. We spend more time there than anywhere else.
Day 1 to 2
Understand
Map the stack, the data flow, the edge cases. The real bottleneck is rarely where teams think it is.
Day 3 to 5
Ship
Workflow goes live. Custom nodes where needed, self-hosted if required, versioned and logged from minute one.
Week 2 to 3
Full MVP live
Multiple workflows wired together into a working system. The scope most teams quote for six to twelve months.
Takeaway: if your agency quote talks in quarters, you are paying for someone to learn on your time.
03Modules, not templates
Every one is live in production.
Nine of the studio’s most requested builds. Each adapts to your stack, your data, and your brand. Not the other way round.

Takeaway: automation is built stack by stack, not rebuild by rebuild. Teams who compound win.
04The stack, wired
Every tool below is already wired in production.
If your stack lives here, we can ship against it this week. If it is not on the list but has an API or a webhook, we have probably wired it for someone else.
Takeaway: the integration is rarely the hard part. The hard part is turning your real process into a workflow that survives edge cases.

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.”

Your interests at heart. Always.

11Questions
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 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 those tools run out of runway: custom nodes, self-hosted execution, webhook logic, LLM chains, and workflows that would cost you £600 or more 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 typically runs £1,500 to £4,000 depending on complexity. Retainers 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.
