Hi there Jim

Not right now I'm busy negotiating with the co-owner of my consultancy
business with regards to new branding and company renaming.

Would it be possible to just pop in a mailto: link for now? Or would it be
better to have a webpage to point to?

Consultant.com is a domain hosted by the folks at Mail.com.
