The Research Base is a boutique research consultancy based in London and Brighton. We provide research, market intelligence and evaluation services to a range of clients operating in the education and skills, third sector and social enterprise sectors. Our clients include education providers, national and international charities, national endowments and socially driven businesses.
We were established in 2010 as a research agency which bridges the gap between evidence-driven academic research and clearly communicated, beautifully presented market research. Our research and evaluation reports provide clients with a strong evidence base on which to base their decisions and their advocacy strategies. We also translate complex data into clear, visual and useful information.
The Research Base offer comprehensive research and evaluation services, including desk research and literature reviews, policy analysis, surveys, interviews, focus groups, data analysis and reporting. Our skills include analysing complex research to inform policy and organisational decisions, benchmarking and competitor analysis, and experience working with a range of stakeholders from policy makers and NGOs to businesses and think tanks. Our market intelligence and international development work has seen us working on projects in Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and the UK. We have particular experience working in South and South East Asia.
Our clients receive clearly written, fully sourced research and intelligence that works. We believe in challenging assumptions and we work hard to develop practical solutions and effective advice.
