About Redgull Data

(incorporating some dull bits of biography and opinions)

Vincent Jones, head of Redgull Data Limited, with his much missed fellwalking companion and with Great Gable in the background. He has two daughters, a BEng (Electronic Engineering) and an MSc (Statistics), a Class I HGV licence, a black belt in karate and a certificate saying that he can swim the length of the swimming baths at Walkden (25 yards). He is married to the London University Shakespeare scholar Professor Elizabeth Schafer.

Redgull started in 1994 when many large companies looked to outsource their expertise.

Large companies getting behind outsourcing meant that freelancing seemed a better way to find work. There were also unforeseen consequences in outsourcing company expertise, which led to increased expert requirements, and so a greater demand for contractors.

From the heady days of 1994, a lot of water has rushed under those bridges, and Redgull had a few learning curves to navigate and the expertise developed over thirty years has been a valuable asset. Redgull supplies the expertise as and when it is required by the clients' management.

And the client is always free, at any time, to end the contract, without giving a reason, with no penalties. This gives the assurance that the client is happy, day by day, with Redgull's work.

Prior to statistical programming and data modelling (and lorry driving), Jones earned a crust at different times by working offshore in Africa on oil exploration vessels, making pizzas, teaching English in Italy, playing hurdy-gurdy in what might be described as a grunge band and working in a care home for seriously challenged adolescents.

Redgull Data Ltd. are happy to support Salford Rugby League Football Club, known as The Red Devils since 1934 (beware of pale imitations, for example, a soccer club from the Borough of Trafford who have taken this name).

Until his move to Hull Kingston Rovers, Redgull were pleased to sponsor Sam Luckley. We wish Sam the best for the future, except when HKR play Salford.

Why "Redgull Data"?

Is it because we gain insights by sweeping down, like some anarchist seagull, on your data as if they're a bag of chips and snatch 'em?

No, sadly, it's more prosaic than that. When the accountants who sold off-the-shelf limited companies were contacted, this was the only one that had a name that had any association with the stuff that we do.
