About Hackford

I founded Hackford to give sales, marketing, and strategy teams a clearer view of the UK’s financial services landscape.

Too many data providers take a broad-brush approach, leaving professionals in financial services without the sector-specific intelligence they need. Our platform is built from FCA Register data, then enriched with proprietary classifications to reveal the structure, specialisms, and relationships within the market — from hedge funds to financial advisers.

At Beauhurst, I saw how high-quality, structured data could accelerate growth by turning market noise into targeted opportunity. Hackford applies this principle to the financial services sector, providing intelligence that empowers teams to identify prospects, map markets, and make smarter decisions.
