About Covalence Future

Practical expertise from inside the sector

Not another consultancy selling theory. We've led data strategy inside operational businesses. Every recommendation comes from lived experience of the pressures mid-market organisations face.

The gap between commitments and systems

Scottish operational businesses are under mounting pressure: compliance demands, Net Zero targets, customer carbon data requests, a widening skills gap, and the promise of AI they can't yet use. The big consultancies are too expensive. The generic training providers are too shallow. Platform vendors assume capability that doesn't exist.

Covalence Future sits in the gap: practical, grounded in operational reality, and focused on building systems and capability that last beyond the engagement.

Our founder brings hands-on experience leading data strategy inside a £150M+ turnover operational business covering data quality, compliance reporting, change management, and innovation. Alongside this, they deliver government-funded data skills programmes and organise the Dundee Data Meetup.

That combination of insider operational experience, hands-on training delivery, and sustainability analytics expertise is rare. We don't sell platforms. We build the capability your people need to use the tools you already have.

Sustainability is non-negotiable

It's why we exist, not a service we bolt on.

Systems over reports

Reports gather dust. Systems create accountability.

Capability over dependency

Your team runs it after we leave. That's the point.

Direct, honest advice

If you're not ready for something, we'll say so.
