Research Consulting Services
Most of our work involves the completion of research projects from start to finish. We can also undertake individual tasks for clients such as data analysis, questionnaire design and desk research. We are very flexible in our approach, and will tailor the work to meet your requirements and budget.
When there is a need for additional resources, or a different skill set, we have a network of research associates, data analysts and statisticians with whom we work on individual projects.
