Duncan is a Power BI and Fabric consultant, based in Norfolk and running Boyne
Business Intelligence. He builds reporting that reflects how a business actually
works, rather than what looks good on a dashboard. Semantic models, report design,
governance, and a fair bit of working out where AI is genuinely useful in data work
and where it's just noise. Accessibility runs through all of it, and since he's
red-blind himself, it has never been theoretical.

The community is the part he'll talk about longest. He runs the Norfolk Power
Platform User Group and is the founder of the East of England Summit, creating
spaces for people at all levels to learn, connect, and grow. He found this community
by accident, and it's still the best accident he's made.

Outside of tech, he's a dad of two, usually being outnumbered at home by kids and a
dog. When he does get a bit of time, it's spent gaming, reading, getting lost in
manga, or listening to music that most people would describe as "a bit aggressive."

Arik Fletcher spends his career building things that make expertise, community and opportunity more accessible, in technology and beyond.

Over more than 25 years, that has meant moving from hands-on infrastructure and engineering into strategic consulting leadership, winning over £10m in competitive technology tenders, building and scaling a global technology PMO, and designing and delivering technical solutions for thousands of users across education, non-profit, SME and enterprise sectors. His current focus spans cyber security, AI strategy and adoption, cloud infrastructure, and governance, risk and compliance, delivered through fractional CIO, CTO, CISO and DPO leadership that gives organisations senior expertise they could not otherwise afford, alongside AI-augmented delivery models and a platform-agnostic evaluation methodology that have tripled consulting capacity and returned three to five times ROI for clients.

The same instinct to build access and community runs through everything else he does. He founded Greyface Guild, a community interest company built around the same principle: that creative and community work should be diverse, accessible and open to more people. Under its umbrella sit the Techie Brunch Club, a technologist community of over 1,000 members; South Devon Sound, a community radio station he funded and helped develop, giving local artists and presenters a platform; and Greyface Games, an indie studio building games and stories in its own Discordian Tales universe with accessibility and inclusive design built in from the first design document. He has spoken at game development industry events on that work.

He carries the same mentoring instinct into his professional life: as London Regional Lead for the Microsoft Global Community Initiative, a British Computer Society member and mentor, a Chartered Institute of Information Security member, a career mentor for Ada, the National Digital Skills College, and a mentor and speaker with the London CTO Club.
