About The Data Bloke Ltd
The Data Bloke Ltd provides clear, practical data support for small businesses that rely on spreadsheets and structured data to run their day-to-day operations.
We focus on solving real problems, broken spreadsheets, inconsistent data, and files that have grown messy over time, without unnecessary complexity or jargon.
What we do
We help businesses clean, transform, and make sense of their data. This includes fixing broken Excel formulas and pivot tables, correcting inconsistent or duplicated records, converting data between formats, and providing straightforward assessments of data quality.
The aim is always the same: to give you data that is accurate, consistent, and fit for purpose, so you can rely on it with confidence.
Background and experience
The company was founded after more than 25 years working on large-scale data migration and data warehousing projects for banks and insurance companies in the UK and across Europe.
Those roles involved handling complex, high-volume datasets where accuracy, consistency, and traceability were critical. The same principles now apply to much smaller datasets, just without the corporate overhead.
How we work
We take a calm, methodical approach. Problems are assessed properly before changes are made, and any assumptions or uncertainties are clearly flagged rather than hidden.
Work is focused on practical outcomes rather than technical perfection. If something can be solved simply and reliably, that is the route taken.
Who we work with
Our services are aimed at small and local businesses, sole traders, and consultants who rely on spreadsheets but do not have dedicated data or IT staff.
Typical clients include trades, professional services, online sellers, and small organisations that need their data to be correct but do not want enterprise-scale solutions.
A straightforward next step
If you have a spreadsheet that is no longer doing what you expect, or data that you do not fully trust, getting in touch is a simple first step.
A quick review can often clarify what needs fixing and how best to approach it.
