Business intelligence, automation and AI for UK businesses

Duncan Boyne is a UK data consultant. He builds Power BI reporting that leaders trust, turning data scattered across ERPs, CRMs, SQL databases and spreadsheets into audit-ready, decision-ready reports. He also builds small automations that take admin off a business's plate, like a 7am email listing overdue invoices, and gives plain-English AI advice based on building with these tools every week. For bigger jobs he works inside your team as an embedded engineer for a fixed block. The reporting work combines proper data modelling underneath with design thinking on top: visual hierarchy, colour theory and accessibility.

A Power BI Health Check is a flat £950, fixed: a scored report card across six areas, eight checks in each, the issues that matter ranked by impact, a practical roadmap and a walkthrough call, all within five working days.

Yes. Sage 200 is a specialism: connecting it to Power BI, modelling it properly, and building financial reporting where the accounts reconcile back to Sage to the penny. There is a live example built on an anonymised Sage 200 estate in the portfolio.

Duncan is based in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, and works with businesses across Norwich, East Anglia and the wider UK, remotely and on-site. Typical clients run on Sage 200, other ERPs, CRMs, SQL databases and spreadsheets across manufacturing, wholesale and distribution, professional services and construction.

The difference is trust and usability. Numbers are traceable from the visual back to source and reconcile to the penny, measures are consistent everywhere they appear, and reports are designed with a clear visual hierarchy so people can see what changed and what is at risk, not just a wall of numbers nobody opens. Accessibility is part of the build too: contrast that passes, alt text on every visual, and colour never carrying a meaning on its own.

That's the point of it. Copilot answers questions using whatever your semantic model tells it, so if measures disagree or numbers don't reconcile, AI repeats those errors faster and with more confidence. Reconciled data, consistent measures and documented logic are the groundwork that makes Copilot safe to switch on, and they're exactly what these engagements build.

Yes, as a rolling monthly care plan in three tiers, cancel any time. Watch is £250 a month: refresh failure monitoring and alerting, a scored monthly health report, and any failure diagnosed within 24 hours, with no build hours included. Care is £750 a month and adds hands-on work: one request at a time, fixes back within 48 hours, up to four hours of build work and a quarterly model review. Partner is £1,500 a month for two requests in flight, up to ten hours and ownership of the reporting roadmap.

Most people start with a free 20-minute intro call. If you already know what you need, the fixed-price starting points are a £950 Power BI Health Check, a £295 automation check or a £195 AI hour, and an embedded engineering block starts with two scoping days at £1,300. The Health Check can be paid online; the others start with a call.
