Down to earth, hands-on and driven by a love of data-enabled transformation, our end-to-end blend of solutions have realised radical results for some of the UK’s leading businesses.

We worked together with Network Rail to help improve their Investment Authority process. Helping the business transition from Excel to a web-based app that brought clear advantages, giving users precise data, smoother workflows, and instant reporting.

We tripled both the client base and staff team when we built a global data platform for property startup, Income Analytics.

We are helping Yorkshire Water implement their data transformation program, with data enablement activities such as data quality improvement, data governance, and enterprise data architecture, not to mention the strategic data platforms and data science solutions helping to drive an overall business transformation ROI of £150m+.

Proud to be B Corp

We’ve always been big believers that building a positive, sustainable future is on us. That’s why we’re committed to changing our global economy in ways that benefit people, communities and our planet.

In 2023, something bloody brilliant happened: we became officially B Corp Certified. Having our efforts recognised was a super proud moment for us – all thanks to the ways we’ve been hitting high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability over the years.

B Corp status is our pat on the back for all the good stuff we do beyond the day to day – from making big decisions with our social and environmental hats on, to making sure our customers are getting great value.

We give our people freedom to find their best selves with great healthcare, well-being resources and training opportunities – and we’re big on community and environmental initiatives too.

But B Corp accreditation isn’t the endgame. We’ll never stop trying to make our world that little bit better. If we can do good, you can bet we’ll do it.

Project Data Analytics

Project data analytics (PDA) has huge potential to assist in the delivery of infrastructure projects bringing £billions of annual savings to the UK. Our new report identifies a host of barriers and enablers to PDA’s effective deployment. Organisations adopting PDA need to take this into account by realising that there is no ‘silver bullet’ for implementation.

Rob Holtom, Information Commissioners Office

Working with Oakland has been as easy as working with a friend, but as valuable as working with a seasoned professional.

Tiana Chan, Elvie

Oakland doesn’t just focus on their bottom line, they do the right thing for the customer. They have been instrumental in upskilling our team and are one of the best consultancies I have worked with.

Richard Beck, Network Rail

If somebody wanted to ask me how do you find working with Oakland I would sing your praises forever.

Andrew Calvert, Yorkshire Water

Oakland helped save months of wasted time.

Sean Francis, Vodafone

This felt like a team effort which is unusual with some of the consultancies I have worked with in the past. The best description I’d have is, Oakland felt that they became an extension of our team. The team that were put on this project were really, really good, and I couldn’t have asked for any more from the process.

Thomas West, Technology Director, GMI Construction

Calm, pragmatic and result driven. Always a pleasure working with you guys.

Matthew Richardson, Chief Executive Officer, Income Analytics

From the first conversation with Oakland, you completely understood the problems we were facing and very, very quickly talked about the solutions. Oakland has been an absolute joy to work with. Not only are you fun and energetic, but you delivered a solution that will future-proof our business for many years to come.
