Evidence-led
We start from the decisions and questions at hand, then build analysis around the evidence that can answer them.
About
Whitestone brings together analysis, data and software.
We are a specialist UK analytics business focused on the information that helps organisations understand businesses, places and economic change.
Our approach
Applied analysis that is rigorous, practical and transparent.
Whitestone combines economic reasoning, data science, applied research and software development to produce evidence that can be used in real decision-making. We work on the questions that require more than a simple dataset: the changes shaping a place, the firms worth understanding, or the patterns behind a sector or market.
- Economic and sector analysis
- Integrated business and place intelligence
- Research and consultancy support
- Purpose-built software for analytical workflows

Integrated
Our work connects company, financial, geographic and innovation signals so the resulting picture is more useful than any single information source alone.
Practical
We focus on analytical outputs that support priorities, strategy, engagement and programme delivery in real-world settings.
Transparent
We are clear about source limitations, interpretation and what the evidence can and cannot support.
