You are contacting:
Every enquiry is read by a senior person and gets a response within one working day.
A senior lead matched to your brief. If you used the general form, a senior person reads it, identifies the right lead, and either responds themselves or routes it internally within the same day.
Yes. Every scoping call is free, properly consultative, and genuinely useful whether or not it turns into a project. Twenty minutes on a video call with a senior specialist. No sales pitch, no qualifying questions, no follow-up email sequence.
Yes. Every senior lead on our Leadership Team page has a direct email, a LinkedIn profile link and a calendar booking link. If you already know who you want to speak to, go direct.
A senior person reads the enquiry, typically within a few hours. They will either respond directly or book a short call with you to discuss the brief. From there it moves to a scoping conversation and, if the fit is right, a proposal. There is no ‘discovery phase’ or ‘qualification stage’ between the form and the first real conversation.
In some cases, yes. We hire out our facilities to trusted research partners when they are not in use for our own project work. Contact the facility lead at the location you are interested in and we will walk you through availability and rates.
We do not publish a minimum fee. We scope every project around the decision the client is trying to make, and the fee reflects the work required. If a brief is genuinely too small for us to add value, we will say so on the scoping call rather than running a project that does not earn its place.
Yes. Follow us on LinkedIn for regular thinking, food and drink insight and updates on what we are working on. No pressure, no nurture sequence, no automated emails. When you are ready, all the contact routes on this page will still be here.
