Like so many good ideas, Data Mettle was hatched over umpteen cups of coffee. Paula had spent years in data driven organisations where data was a highly valued commodity but using it to its full potential often proved challenging. On the flipside, Jeremy is a data geek through and through. He’s spent much of his lifetime solving complex data problems, from using spacecraft data to high end commercial and business data. We wanted to marry these up and make data science accessible. Our idea was to work with people to provide uncomplicated and insightful data science solutions that would drive business and social change.
