OUR VALUES

These are the principles that guide our conduct as a business as well our relationship with our clients, partners and other stakeholders.

  1. Keeping things simple: we believe that things work best and are better understood if they are explained plainly, in a clear and concise manner. 
  2. Straight talking: we believe in being open, honest and direct in the way we work and communicate with those both within and outside the company.                                               
  3. Clear and ongoing communication: we believe that it is important that our clients are clear about our work, the progress that is being made and so on. Maintaining clear and ongoing communication is therefore central to what we do and the way that we work.  
  4. Value for money: we believe in offering our clients ‘value for money’ in everything that we do.  This does not mean that we provide our services and products at the lowest price possible. Our objective is to provide services and products that are worth the price being paid for them.
  5. Learn, improve and innovate: learning, improving and being innovative is central to the way we work. We’re constantly reviewing our methods and looking for better and new ways of doing what we do. This means that we can develop as a business, improve the services and products that we provide and be responsive to our clients’ needs.   
  6. Be efficient and careful in the way we work and use resource: we try not to spend money on things that don’t improve our business and the services that we provide. We also believe in looking after the environment. This breeds resourcefulness, self-sufficiency and innovation within our organisation.
  7. Our people are our assets: we recognise that people are central to our company and believe in developing, listening and motivating our people. Be polite, be friendly work hard.
  8. A supportive environment: there is a willingness amongst our team to muck in and help each other out at the time of need.

OUR TEAM 

We have a strong and well established professional team of researchers and consultants. Our team combines strong technical skills with professional experience in research, evaluation and the management and delivery of publicly funded projects and programmes.
