We have worked on a wide range of market research and market appraisal assignments for the Big Four, other professional services firms, Fortune 500 companies, global software businesses, the UK Government, the UK Research Councils, private equity and VC funds, SMEs and entrepreneurial start-ups.

Both quantitative and qualitative in nature, their objectives have been as varied as the clients for whom they have been undertaken:

Defining and sizing markets

Forecasting sector growth

Prioritising sectors and opportunities

Identifying and validating targets

Helping define new products and services

Shaping product development roadmaps

Providing essential input for thought leadership programmes

Informing investors’ due diligence and investment decisions

Establishing target valuations for corporate fundraisings

Development of pricing models and strategies

Identification of strategic partners and acquisition targets;

Helping to define public policy and shape Government support mechanisms

The results of any market assessment project are only as good as the up-front analysis of what insights are sought from the exercise, why they are needed, and how they are to be used. We have particular expertise in devising smart ways of delivering commercial insights from non-obvious, hard to obtain, information that have delivered significant competitive advantage for our clients.
