Notion Setup in Durham
Setting up Notion for Durham teams. Notion is excellent for documentation and knowledge, and it is frequently pushed further than it should go — as a CRM, a project system, a database — where it works well enough to adopt and badly enough to regret at scale.
Why this comes up
The problem
Information is scattered across documents, drives and people's heads. New starters ask the same questions and nobody can find the current version of anything.
What you get
What we deliver
- A structure people can navigate without being told where things live
- Databases used where structure genuinely helps rather than everywhere
- Templates for recurring documents, so consistency does not depend on discipline
- Ownership and review dates on pages, since unowned documentation goes stale
- Permissions set deliberately, particularly for anything shared externally
- An honest view on where Notion stops being the right tool

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Notion Setup in Durham — common questions
- What is Notion genuinely good at?
- Documentation, internal knowledge, process notes and lightweight tracking. As the place where how-we-do-things lives, it is very good. The trouble starts when it becomes the CRM and the project system as well, because it is adequate at both rather than good.
- When should we use something else?
- When you need reporting across thousands of records, reliable automation, or a system of record for customers or finance. Notion databases slow noticeably at scale and lack the guarantees a real database provides. Use it for knowledge, not as infrastructure.
- Why does our Notion get messy?
- Because anyone can create a page anywhere. Without an agreed structure and page ownership, it accumulates duplicates and outdated content until people stop trusting it — at which point they ask a colleague instead, which is the problem you started with.
- Is it safe for confidential information?
- With care. Permissions work, and public sharing is one click away — pages have been exposed publicly by accident more than once across the industry. Review external sharing periodically rather than assuming what was set correctly stayed that way.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
