Data and analytics consultancy in Brighton and Hove

Brighton and Hove sits in East Sussex, with an economy built on software and technology, media, advertising and creative, and insurance and reinsurance. We deliver Power BI, Microsoft Fabric and Azure work here remote-first, with on-site workshops at the points where being in the room changes the outcome, and we publish three local analyses rather than claiming an office we do not occupy.

Brighton and Hove analyses

Three local analyses

Each one takes the local sector mix seriously: the metrics that break here, the architecture those industries need, and the regulatory obligations that apply.
Local economy

The local economy

Brighton's digital agency cluster means much of the local analytics demand is campaign and client-profitability work, where platform-reported figures and settled revenue need reconciling. The insurance presence provides a counterweight of regulated reporting with very different control expectations.

The University of Sussex and the University of Brighton support a strong digital and design talent base.

Economic anchors

  • a well-known digital and creative agency cluster
  • insurance and financial operations
  • a substantial conference and visitor economy

Where the clients sit

  • central Brighton
  • New England Quarter
  • Hove business district
  • the seafront conference district

How buying works here

Three to eight weeks from first conversation….

Relatively fast and relationship-led, with procurement entering late unless the value is high. Day rates and fixed prices are both normal, and buyers expect them early rather than after three meetings.

Supplier and contracting information

Who has to say yes

  1. Budget holder, usually a finance director, CIO or head of data
  2. IT and information security review, increasingly including a supplier questionnaire
  3. Procurement, for value above the delegated authority threshold
  4. Legal, for the master agreement rather than the statement of work

Have ready

  • Certificate of incorporation and latest filed accounts
  • Professional indemnity, public liability and employer's liability insurance certificates
  • Cyber Essentials or Cyber Essentials Plus, effectively mandatory for public-sector work
  • Data processing agreement under UK GDPR Article 28
  • Completed security questionnaire, often a standard set the client reuses

Contract language: English.
