To complement this, we also commission, manage, evaluate and report on survey research, providing a complete market research & policy analysis service for our clients.

 its mission, its people, some of its achievements and to get some background on our areas of special focus.

Though we do specialize, we also do market or social research in all sorts of context - exploring consumer perspectives is vital for every sort of service enhancement or product launch. These range from planning retirement communities and developing new features for mobile phones to the improvement of financial or travel services. They include the conception and enhancement of music festivals, the design of concert halls and the evolution of new public policies on health care or immigration.

We do work for new or small companies or non-profit organizations as well large or established organizations , including banks, orchestras, government departments, NGOs and charities.

We do have special experience in exploring consumer concerns among minorities. We have explored the concerns of people in ethnic minority groups in cities and the views of people living or working in rural areas We have extensive experience researching views among older people. Recently, we have been busy exploring public demands and expectations for music and arts. 

Our focus is wide-ranging. Our expertise is deep. Our explorations are sensitive and well-informed.  Clients can have confidence in us, whether you want to review policies and services affecting income or care or are promoting musical and artistic events. And better communication & information matters to us, as it matters to all consumers of goods and services. Helping providers to listen to consumers helps them provide what consumers want.
