Data and analytics consultancy in Cheltenham

Cheltenham sits in Gloucestershire, with an economy built on defence and security, software and technology, and professional and legal services. 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.

Cheltenham 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

Cheltenham's cyber-security concentration means analytics clients here ask harder security questions than almost anywhere else in the UK, and expect specific answers about access, logging and data egress. The events economy adds sharply seasonal demand forecasting work.

Cheltenham's cyber cluster attracts strong security and data engineering talent relative to town size.

Economic anchors

  • a nationally significant cyber-security cluster
  • professional and financial services
  • a substantial events and racing economy

Where the clients sit

  • Cheltenham town centre
  • the Golden Valley development
  • Lansdown
  • Kingsditch

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.
