Data and analytics consultancy in Glasgow

Glasgow sits in Scotland, with an economy built on retail and commercial banking, insurance and reinsurance, and industrial machinery and engineering. 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.

Glasgow 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

Glasgow hosts a substantial concentration of financial services operations centres alongside genuine heavy engineering, so the analytics demand splits between regulated financial reporting and industrial asset data. Scottish public bodies also operate under their own legislative framework in several areas, which affects how statutory reporting is specified.

Glasgow, Strathclyde and Glasgow Caledonian universities give the city a strong engineering and data science pipeline.

Economic anchors

  • Scotland's largest financial services and shared-services base
  • engineering and shipbuilding activity on the Clyde
  • a large higher-education and research sector

Where the clients sit

  • the International Financial Services District
  • Pacific Quay
  • Clyde Waterfront
  • Hillington

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.

Analytics work in Glasgow

A 45-minute technical review with an engineer who knows what retail and commercial banking and insurance and reinsurance data looks like. We will tell you what we would build, in what order, and roughly what it costs.

How this usually runs here
A technical call, then a written proposal with a fixed price or a day rate. Procurement joins above roughly £50,000.
