We take data very seriously here - but we take the struggles of rural businesses even more seriously.
I'm putting together a proper, no-nonsense report on how rural businesses actually use (or avoid) data. Not the glossy "digital transformation" stuff you see in city offices and keep getting pushed on Facebook ads. I mean the real world: mud, paperwork, dodgy Wi-Fi, and that one spreadsheet that's been screaming for help since 2018.

If you're a farmer, builder, plumber, groomer, yard owner, electrician, baker, or anyone else running or working for a rural business... this is for you.
Be honest...
Ever feel like the world's racing ahead with apps, dashboards, and "digital solutions", while you're still trying to find the pen you left on the tractor seat?
Still juggling paper, screenshots, and a phone full of photos of receipts?
Still waiting for the internet to load since last Tuesday?
You're not alone. Trust me.
I talk to farmers, builders, plumbers, groomers, yard owners, and all sorts of rural businesses - and the same frustrations come up again and again.
So I've made a short, straight-talking survey - no jargon, no sales pith, no "unlock your digital potential" nonsense, and if you don't want me to, I'll never talk to you again. Just real questions about what's working, what's not, and what support rural businesses actually need.
π¨ This survey has NOTHING to do with selling my services π¨
I'm building a data set so I can write a proper report and (hopefully) push for some actual change.
BUT - because your time is valuable - I am giving away a free small spreadsheet solution to one person who completes the survey and leaves their details. Think of it as a thank-you for helping me make sense of the chaos.
If you've got a few minutes between jobs, I'd really appreciate your input.

Thanks for helping me shine a light on what rural businesses really need - not what the tech world THINKS you need.
