Company insights

Founded to Put Clients First

Datahub Consulting was founded by Clive Lemmon, a consultant who had spent over a decade working with Microsoft Global Gold Partners. Having achieved most traditional career milestones, Clive set out to build a Microsoft‑focused consultancy from the ground up. One that prioritised pragmatic delivery, transparent engagement, and measurable outcomes. From day one, our focus has been accelerating time‑to‑value and reducing project risk for clients specialising in Data & AI Platform, Data & Digital Transformation, Risk & Compliance, And Training Services

Aviation Centre of Excellence & First Global Airline

In 2019 we launched our Aviation Centre of Excellence, reflecting our early strength in safety‑critical, operations‑heavy environments. That same year we partnered with our first airport and global airline, translating complex operational data into timely, actionable insights. Our founder also became a Microsoft Certified Trainer, enabling us to incorporate structured training and enablement into delivery so that clients build internal capability while projects progress. The outcome: faster adoption, better retention, and lower long‑term total cost of ownership.

Opening of the London Office and International Delivery

We opened our London office to serve UK clients more closely and delivered our first international project, reinforcing our ability to operate across time zones and regulatory environments. We also completed our first formal training engagement, combining hands‑on delivery with learning pathways. In parallel, we began working with public‑sector organisations via Crown Commercial Service routes, aligning our methods to the expectations of UK government buyers. This combination of delivery + enablement became a signature approach we bring to every engagement.

European Expansion

Demand from multinational clients led us to open our European office. The Datahub European office is based in the La Finca Business Park in Madrid where our neighbours include Microsoft, Orange, Accenture and Maersk.

Capability Maturity & Scalable Methodology

As our client base grew, we deepened our engineering standards, templates, and reference architectures. We refined our repeatable methodology for data platform modernisation covering ingestion, modelling, governance, security, and FinOp. Allowing for programmes to scale without sacrificing quality. The result was a more predictable, outcomes‑driven delivery model that shortens discovery, accelerates build, and streamlines handover to client teams.

New Website & Sustainability in Action

We launched our new website to reflect our broader services and clearer value proposition. Sustainability moved from principle to practice. We reduced our carbon footprint by investing in electric vehicles and significantly cutting international travel through remote delivery and smarter project design. For clients with ESG objectives, we demonstrate that leading‑edge cloud analytics and responsible operations can go hand in hand.

Customers embrace Microsoft Fabric

2024 marked a step‑change with a focus on Microsoft Fabric projects. We delivered our first Microsoft Fabric project with an aviation customer, helping centralise reservations, flight information, lost baggage, complaints, and customer satisfaction in one lakehouse for a 360-degree view of the passenger journey, from booking the flight, to landing at their destination.

Every Datahub data engineer achieved the DP‑600 (Fabric Analytics Engineer) certification, giving customers confidence in the depth of our platform expertise.

Understanding customer needs to leverage data solutions in weeks, not months we added Quick Start Accelerators to our offerings allowing customers to reduce implementation timelines and provide faster ROI.

Scaling Manufacturing Success

In 2025, Datahub seen a big increase in manufacturing organisations reaching out wanting to better utilise their EPR data for orders, invoicing, customers, suppliers, parts, and inventory.

For Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations customers, our accelerators support fast pathways to land ERP data in Fabric using technologies such as Synapse Link or Fabric Link for D365, enabling modern analytics with a robust governance and low latency.

Knowledge at Scale

Looking ahead, we’re increasing our investment in enablement at scale. We’re launching the Datahub YouTube channel to share practical tutorials, engineering walkthroughs, and Microsoft Fabric best practices with the wider community.

We will continue to publish technical articles, expand our client base year on year, and double down on the accelerators and quick starts that make modern analytics accessible and sustainable for every organisation.
