Welcome to TBR

TBR is a leading UK economic research and strategy
consultancy. We provide our clients with the evidence 
they need to make confident, informed decisions.  

TIME FOR A NEW CHAPTER IN TBR'S HISTORY...

TBR has been operating in the UK's economic research
field for over 23 years. The need for more space to
accommodate our growing team and a desire for a fresh
environment has led us to relocate. Our new premises
are now in Newcastle's Discovery Quarter, near Central Station.

What makes us different?

How many times have we all heard individuals make a plea for data that they believe does not exist? TBR is your first port of call if you have that problem.

We ground recommendations in data that we can stand behind. We have spent over 20 years developing the rules, reliability and clarity of the data that we use to describe economic change. We do not take statistics for granted. We work continuously to improve the quality of our input sources. Working at first hand with data ensures that we challenge preconceptions based upon pre-packaged statistics.

We promise our clients valuable comparative information built from the smallest geographies and the businesses within them.

In some projects the primary consideration centres on the actions and motives of people and organisations. Here we rely upon our inter-personal skills allied to appropriate research methodologies. For example, interviewing the Licensed Trade about retail practises is a sensitive subject and occasionally requires legal presence. Exploring the long term educational needs of activities such as Design, Advertising, Craft, Visual Arts and Music has its own sensitivities where statistics play a background role.

We blend our unique understanding of business data with qualitative techniques to address client concerns.
