Research & Development

We have experience undertaking market research, technical research and product research in various sectors.

The sectors we have experience with include Consumer goods, Smart devices, Composite Materials, Medical Technology, A.I., Robotics, Entrepreneurship and
FinTech.

It very much depends on what the topic is, what the scope of the research is, and what the budget is. For example, a research exercise to find the determinants of  Juvenile delinquency in Nottingham with a budget of £20,000 is going to be vastly different from researching the top 50 Manufacturers of Bass Headsets in China with a £9,000 budget. Similarly, the two types of research will be different from a Market research (e.g. Focus group exercise) finding out what people like and dislike about a new type of inhaler.

There are several ways of doing this, but essentially it entails a combination of using independent specialists in a particular area, peer reviews and published literature to verify our findings. However, sometimes the research exercise is a 'Pioneering Research', with no published similar exercise available. In such cases, we are careful to clearly state the limits and constraints of the exercise, and are transparent to the commissioning body/ client in outlining how the exercise can be independently replicated.
