About

Independent thinking, rigorous research and practical advice. Discover the people and principles behind Kada Research.

Kada Research helps organisations make informed, confident decisions and demonstrate the true value of their work. We are an independent economic development consultancy, founded in 2011. We work mainly in the UK, with some international projects.

Our team includes planners, economists and social scientists. Our clients include combined authorities, councils, businesses, and cultural and charitable organisations. We work from offices in Sheffield, Gateshead and Portishead.

We aim to improve places and prospects through investment and change. Our work spans three interlinked areas: empowering people, shaping places and transforming businesses.

Our services cover the whole project cycle, from feasibility and research studies to strategies, business cases, impact assessments and evaluations. Our work stands up to scrutiny from funders and government. It helps clients use their resources responsibly and effectively.
