Our Clients

"We work with many local authorities, transport agencies and businesses in the north, researching all areas relevant to them."

Our clients fall into two broad categories:

1. Clients that have a local focus, for example:

Local Authorities – We have established relationships with Councils across the North of England. Our work with these councils crosses our Social Research specialist areas, including: many statutory surveys (such as BVPI, Place, Status); public consultation and engagement events; community cohesion, public services, economic impact studies to evaluate the effectiveness of Council funded events, management of Citizen’s panels, qualitative evaluation of children services. 

Passenger Transport Executives (PTEs) – We have established relationships with the 5 PTEs across the North of England, on behalf of whom studies include: travel consultations; tracking passenger routes through travel diaries, measuring travel priorities through stated preference models, and undertaking discussion groups to explore passenger travel issues. We regularly work in partnership with Transport Consultancies to meet research requirements.

NHS – We have undertaken research on behalf of a number of health organisations, including the North West Strategic Health Authority, Primary Care Trusts and a range of Specialist Trusts in the North of England.

2. Clients that have a national or global focus, for example: 

Financial service providers – where we work with our  Loyalty, ASI and Reputation Specialisms to offer research into customer and employee experience, and innovation into new financial products.

Manufacturers based in the North West but with a National and global remit - where we work with ASI, Marketing and Reputation Specialisms to offer research to evaluate advertising and communication campaigns, assess pricing strategies, innovate new products and measure the anticipated sales of new launches.
