Clients are everything as a freelancer. I pride myself on building good relationships and providing great value to my clients, while de-mystifying data analytics and helping organisations to access valuable insights from their data.
I only work with organisations that actively make the world a better place; this puts client success at the heart of everything I do.
A selection of clients I’ve worked with as a freelancer:
I’ve delivered substantial value through freelance work ranging from analytics setup and strategy through to deep-dive website performance analysis, data visualisation, conversion rate optimisation, and training.
But my clients can say it better than I can!
(I also have over 20 LinkedIn recommendations from various projects and roles.)

We would not hesitate to work with Daniel again and he will be the first on our list the next time we need a data analyst for a project. He is adaptable and passionate about sustainable development and using data analysis to bring that about.
ASC (Assist Social Capital) is a Community Interest Company that works to evidence impact and improve outcomes in communities that lead to increased wellbeing, resilience and sustainability.
It was a huge advantage to work with someone with Daniel’s skills, but it was even more important to us that he was willing to buy into our approach and to support us on that and this meant as he was able to fit into our culture with ease.

After launching our new website at Scottish Book Trust in 2019, we wanted to enhance our web analytics capabilities. Daniel very quickly got up to speed with our organisation and what we were trying to achieve. He developed a detailed analytics audit which we worked through with him to improve our setup and use of Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. Alongside this Daniel was integral to helping us improve our approach to our mobile app analytics.
We found Daniel easy to work with, approachable and very quick to deliver results.

Daniel has been a joy to work with.
He has taken a relatively vague brief and worked with our staff to create highly useable KPI dashboards that have enabled us to view performance in real time, become more analytical and make smarter tasking decisions.
This in turn has raised our productivity saving time/money on an ongoing basis.

Daniel is a fantastic analyst with a strong focus on conversion optimisation and user behaviour. We have worked together on a variety of projects including technical integrations, data science and delivering conversion and usability insights to our clients.
He is always friendly and professional and gets up to speed very quickly on new projects – identifying the important aspects for the business, then applying his excellent analytical skills to uncover user issues and opportunities. Whether in person, on a video call or by email, he asks the right questions, focuses on the right areas and communicates his findings and any recommendations or issues clearly and concisely.
Daniel provides detailed reports and analysis, but also highlights the key findings, features and areas for future work. Not only does he deliver work quickly and efficiently, but he makes excellent recommendations for additional analysis, tracking or reporting which are closely matched to the client’s needs.
His work has been incredibly valuable to us as a business. He has delivered insights which have helped to generate significant increases in the conversion rates for our clients as well as carrying out data science projects which have helped the companies we work with to better measure their results and impact. Daniel has built internal tools for the business which both allow us more detailed insight into our data and save many hours per week of repetitive analysis.
Daniel is a great person to work with who has delivered significant value to our business and I strongly recommend him.

Daniel has been a huge help to us at Link. Having recently launched a new website, we worked with Daniel to audit our digital analytics needs and capabilities.

He worked with us to deliver a package of work that was bespoke to our needs, in line with our budgets, and would give us maximum impact for our current situation.

As a charity, we really appreciated his expert subject knowledge in our field as well as his clear expertise in analytics and we wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again in the future.

I was a colleague of Daniel’s at the charity WaterAid and since then have been a client of his at Stroke Association. Daniel understands well the needs of large charities and is highly motivated to provide data analysis solutions that will positively benefit the charity and the people we work with. Daniel’s skills in digital analytics range from analytics configuration and tagging implementation, to automated reporting, data visualisation, and deep data analysis. He also keeps an eye on the overall aims and strategy of the organisation.
Our project at Stroke Association involved a detailed web analytics audit, producing highly useful insights and recommendations on how to improve our setup and use of Google Analytics. As a trusted expert in digital analytics, Daniel was able to get up to speed with Stroke Association’s needs, deliver an audit, and walk through his findings with the team, all within a short timeframe.
This has given us a strong platform to improve our insight from Google Analytics and I would highly recommend Daniel’s specialist data analytics services to other charities and large organisations.

With Daniel having experience working in the charity sector, non-profits and NGO’s – and with us being in the recycling industry – we felt Daniel would be well equipped to understand our online ecommerce business core values and its development needs.
It’s clear that Daniel has a wealth of experience and insight that is an essential asset to any committed website owner. It’s surprising that many webmasters seem to ignore the requirements for data analytics and CRO prior to website design and SEO campaigns.
In retrospect, we would have benefited greatly through working with Daniel some years ago, with data informing decisions rather than guesswork.
We’re really pleased to have discovered Daniel and we look forward to continuing working with him.

It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with Daniel. We needed a better way to access our face-to-face fundraising data from the Evergiving platform. The data reporting Daniel produced for us was of excellent quality and exactly what we were looking for, and has had a very positive impact on streamlining our processes.
The training he delivered was also excellent – he is very thorough and patient and we hope to work together again soon.
