We work with organisations across the public, private and non-profit sectors, building evidence for decisions that matter.
Local and strategic authorities
We help councils and strategic authorities understand their local economies, shape priorities and make the case for investment. Our research, strategies and evaluations support decisions about places, people and inclusive growth.
Central government, devolved nations and public bodies
Independent research and evaluation to inform policy, assess programmes and strengthen the case for public investment. Includes housing, health, culture and heritage, and emergency services.
Further and higher education, skills bodies and training providers
We connect education and training with the needs of employers, learners and local economies. From labour market analysis to programme evaluation, we help build the evidence for skills provision, partnerships and investment.
Private sector
We help businesses understand markets, demonstrate economic and social value, and assess opportunities for growth. Includes property, business support and business membership organisations.
Charities and civil society
We help charities, social enterprises and community organisations understand need, demonstrate their impact and make a stronger case for funding. Our research brings evidence and people’s experiences together to inform practical decisions.
EC and international bodies
We support cross-border programmes and partnerships with independent research, evaluation and economic analysis. By considering different places and perspectives, we help organisations understand what works and use that learning to shape future activity.
