Data and analytics consultancy in Leicester

Leicester sits in Leicestershire, with an economy built on logistics and freight, textiles, fashion and luxury goods, and food and drink manufacturing. 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.

Leicester 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

Leicester sits on the UK's central logistics corridor and retains a real textile and food manufacturing base, so the analytics work is operational: cost to serve, warehouse productivity and option-level sell-through. Supply-chain due-diligence reporting is a live issue for the garment sector here in particular.

The University of Leicester and De Montfort University supply analytics graduates to a cost-sensitive local market.

Economic anchors

  • a substantial distribution and logistics corridor position
  • textile and garment manufacturing
  • food production and wholesale

Where the clients sit

  • the city centre
  • Leicester Space Park
  • Meridian Business Park
  • Beaumont Leys

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.
