Our Team

Our team consists of academically trained researchers with considerable experience of conducting research and evaluation in the public, private, voluntary and community sectors.

We have published peer-reviewed books, papers and reports on a range of topics and produced pivotal work which has informed policy and made a difference on the ground. For example, our research and evaluation in emergency services is one of the key pieces of research helping to shape the future of ‘blue-light’ collaboration. The recommendations from our evaluation of partnerships across England and Wales were adopted in the Policing and Crime Act (2017).

Our research team provides a wealth of valuable insight and knowledge, which can help organisations dramatically enhance the work they do. From identifying the developmental needs of workforces to supporting employer ambitions, we have the resources to make a real positive difference to organisations.
