Reset Connect North took place March 3–4, 2026 at the Royal Armouries in Leeds, bringing together leaders, investors and innovators from the UK's green economy. With KPMG as headline sponsor, attendees sought practical solutions rather than theoretical frameworks—making it the ideal venue for Vizibli's debut.
Why Reset Connect North matters
Reset Connect North has established itself as the leading sustainability event for northern England, a region strong in manufacturing, construction, healthcare and supply chain industries. These sectors face the most demanding sustainability requirements. The event provided Vizibli an opportunity to meet SMEs, advisors and consultants grappling with real challenges: businesses requested to submit carbon data by major customers, accountants fielding unexpected ESG questions, and consultants struggling to serve more clients with limited hours.
A powerful partnership: Vizibli and Ltt Group
Vizibli exhibited in partnership with Ltt Group, a specialist sustainability consultancy helping corporates achieve supply chain compliance for net zero targets. Their team brings over 20 years of combined experience across carbon accounting, tender support, certifications and net zero strategy, serving construction, healthcare, pharma, manufacturing and automotive sectors.
At the event, Ltt Group positioned their offering as "A specialist sustainability team when you need one. Not a full-time hire you can't justify," with Vizibli as their exclusive technology partner. This combination delivers software's speed and scale alongside specialists' judgment and experience.
Ltt's Founder and MD, Jon Wragg, explained that Vizibli helps with carbon tracking from purchase ledgers, "delivering Scope 3 reporting in hours, not weeks" while reducing manual spreadsheet-heavy reporting.
What Vizibli does for SMEs
SMEs face a mismatch between what they're asked to do and available tools. Customers demand carbon data. Lenders factor ESG performance into credit decisions. The Public Procurement Act makes sustainability a core criterion in public sector tenders, with non-compliant suppliers facing automatic exclusion.
Most SMEs respond using spreadsheets, estimates and goodwill—slow, error-prone and unsatisfying for all involved. Vizibli connects to operational data businesses already hold—invoices, purchase ledgers, utility records, logistics data—converting it into accurate, real-time carbon insight without manual entry or specialist knowledge.
1. Win more business
Convert more proposals by responding to ESG questions with verified data rather than estimates.
2. Protect margins
Real-time identification of cost and carbon savings—the same actions improve both.
3. Stay compliant
Automatically generate reports meeting legislative and customer requirements.
For SME owners who've avoided sustainability, Vizibli makes it manageable. For those drowning in spreadsheets, it's a solution. For businesses viewing sustainability as a commercial opportunity, Vizibli makes that ambition operational.
What Vizibli does for accountants, consultants and advisors
The sustainability challenge creates significant opportunity for SME advisors. Accountants, management consultants and business advisors increasingly receive sustainability questions from trusting clients but lack structured approaches or efficient platforms.
Vizibli transforms sustainability advisory economics entirely. Instead of bespoke, manually intensive processes—gathering data via email, running spreadsheet calculations, producing individual reports—advisors manage their entire client portfolio in one platform. Data collection previously requiring weeks now takes hours. Reporting previously requiring days now takes minutes.
90% Reduction: Cut 90% data admin vs spreadsheets
4X Productivity: Manage all clients in one platform
£££ Recurring Revenues: Generate predictable monthly income
Sustainability isn't one-time work—it's ongoing measurement, improvement and reporting. Businesses need annual support, creating natural recurring revenue streams for advisors from engaged, trusting clients with genuine long-term needs. Vizibli makes delivering this service efficiently profitable.
The Virtual Impact Team: expert sustainability support on demand
A compelling Reset Connect North conversation addressed: what do SMEs do when needing expert advice but unable to justify full-time sustainability hiring?
It's a genuine dilemma. "77% of UK SME manufacturers receive ESG requirements from customers, yet 52% lack the resources to meet them—and only a fraction receive meaningful support."
Sustainability work comes in waves: tenders to respond to, accreditations to renew, customer questions arise. Other weeks prove quieter. Hiring full-time specialists for fluctuating work is hard to justify. Traditional consultants charging £700–£1,200 daily are often unaffordable.
The Virtual Impact Team (VIT) solves this neatly, working like solicitors—you bank hours and the team is on-call 24/7. A highly trained team with 20+ years combined experience, available when needed. At £1,300 for ten hours, it's a fraction of traditional consulting—and vastly more flexible than permanent hiring.
Practical use cases match SME situations exactly: Friday tenders requiring carbon reduction plans, customers asking ESG questions sales teams can't answer, marketing teams needing sustainability claims reviewed before release, Scope 3 carbon footprints needing updates. You call, they handle it.
VIT compared to the alternatives:
In-house hire
- Cost
- £45–65k+ plus on-costs
- Flexibility
- Fixed capacity
- Availability
- 3–6 month process
Traditional consultant
- Cost
- £700–1,200 per day
- Flexibility
- Project-bound
- Availability
- Days or weeks to start
Ltt VIT
- Cost
- £1,300 per 10 hours
- Flexibility
- Use as needed
- Availability
- Same day, 24/7
Combined with Vizibli's platform—which handles data collection, carbon calculation and reporting—the VIT model becomes even more powerful. The platform manages systematic, repeatable work while the VIT team handles judgment calls, difficult questions and strategic challenges requiring human expertise. Together, they provide SMEs something previously unavailable: complete sustainability capability, available on demand, at sensible cost.
The bigger picture
Reset Connect North demonstrated substantial momentum in sustainability work—and how much of the market remains underserved. Large corporates have sustainability teams, software budgets and external advisors. Their SME suppliers, constituting the vast UK economy majority, mostly don't. Yet those SMEs face increasingly identical standards.
The Vizibli and Ltt Group partnership directly addresses this gap through practical technology, expert human support, and flexible, affordable access. No requirement to hire full-time teams or engage expensive consultancies on long retainers.
The organization left Leeds energized. The problem is genuine, demand is growing, and the solution exists. Whether you're an SME navigating this landscape or an advisor building a scalable sustainability practice, they welcome conversation.
