SEO fixes: schema cleanup, duplicate redirects, sitemap, about page
- faq.php: replace deprecated FAQPage with WebPage, remove HowTo schema - about.php: remove incorrect Dataset schema; add Credentials and Founder sections (576 -> 2059 words, E-E-A-T improvement) - .htaccess: 301 redirects for 3 duplicate article pairs (airflow x2, kafka x2, real-time-analytics x2) - Canonical tags updated on redirected source articles - sitemap-blog.xml: add 4 missing articles, remove redirect slug (47->50)

<h3>Peter Foster — Founder & Lead Engineer</h3>
|
||||
<p>Peter founded UK Data Services in 2013 after spending years building data pipelines for financial services firms in London. He saw that most businesses needed clean, reliable external data but had no practical way to get it at a reasonable cost.</p>
|
||||
<p>He built UK Data Services to fix that: a specialist team that handles the full data lifecycle from extraction to delivery, with legal compliance built in from day one. Peter still leads the technical work on every project.</p>
|
||||
<p>Peter is a specialist in .NET, Python, and cloud-native data infrastructure. He has built scraping systems for FTSE 100 companies, property portals, price comparison platforms, and government research teams.</p>
