Testimonials

Department for Culture, Media and Sport

I was very impressed with TBR's flexibility and willingness to adapt to constantly changing project needs and requirements. The project lead was always accommodating and totally professional, despite very difficult circumstances.

TBR with the Cities Institute have delivered an important piece of research which will provide a consistent framework to the mapping of cultural, sporting, heritage and arts facilities for all bodies associated with these venues.

Creative & Cultural Skills

TBR have worked with us on a number of projects, and on each project I have been delighted with their professionalism, dedication and hands on approach. They are very communicative, flexible, easy to manage and work very hard to provide the best outputs for the brief provided. In my opinion they are extremely strong on the quantitative side of research, but are also good at qualitative research as well.

TBR has conducted a range of projects for Scottish Enterprise, from £30,000 to well over £100,000.

TBR undertook a difficult project against a tight time scale.
