What is Advice Cloud?

Advice Cloud is a GovTech procurement consultancy founded in 2014, headquartered in Brighton, East Sussex. The company specialises in helping technology suppliers successfully sell to the public sector, bridging the gap between innovative tech companies and the often complex world of government procurement. Their core offering is buyability mentoring — guiding businesses through the processes, frameworks, and strategies needed to win public sector contracts.

Advice Cloud holds 4 Day Week Foundation Gold accreditation, demonstrating its commitment to a genuine 32-hour, 4-day working week at full pay. The company has proven that high-value consultancy work can be delivered effectively within a reduced working week.

Where will I work?

Advice Cloud is headquartered at 15-17 Middle Street, Brighton, BN1 1AL, in the heart of Brighton's bustling Lanes district. Brighton is one of the UK's most vibrant and creative cities, known for its progressive culture, excellent food scene, and proximity to the sea. The office is centrally located with excellent transport links including Brighton railway station nearby.

The company operates a hybrid working model, offering the flexibility to balance time in the Brighton office with remote working.

What is the team like?

With approximately 19 employees, Advice Cloud is a small, specialised team of procurement and GovTech experts. The team combines deep knowledge of public sector buying processes with an understanding of technology markets, making them uniquely positioned to help tech companies navigate government sales. The culture is consultative, knowledge-driven, and collaborative, with team members regularly working directly with clients on high-stakes procurement bids.

The small team size means every person's expertise matters, and there are real opportunities to shape the company's direction and develop specialist knowledge in the growing GovTech space.

Work-Life Balance

Advice Cloud operates a 4-day working week at 32 hours per week with full pay. The company holds 4 Day Week Foundation Gold accreditation, confirming its genuine commitment to reduced working hours. Combined with the hybrid working model, the team enjoys significant flexibility in how and where they work.

The consultancy's adoption of the 4-day week is particularly notable given the client-facing nature of the work. Advice Cloud has structured its operations to deliver exceptional client service within the reduced schedule, demonstrating that even in professional services, a shorter working week is achievable.
