Data and analytics consultancy in London

London sits in Greater London, with an economy built on retail and commercial banking, asset and wealth management, 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.

London 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

London concentrates banking, insurance, asset management, law and technology within a few square miles, which means analytics problems here are rarely about data volume and almost always about reconciliation between functions that each hold an authoritative version of the same number. Regulatory expectation is also higher: the FCA, PRA and ICO all take an active interest in how firms derive the figures they publish.

Imperial, UCL, LSE, King's and a dozen other institutions make London the deepest analytics labour market in Europe, and the most competitive to hire in.

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.
