Professional
I would like to thank PH and PK for the professional manner in which you delivered the two day "Business Plan Rectification" workshop. It was exactly what was needed and was of great value.
As you are aware I have spent a long period of time researching and writing the Lifestyle Vouchers International Business Plan and had been assisted by a number of other Business Advisers along the way. You, however brought with you considerable business experience and have developed the Plan into a document that can be implemented in the real world and one that gives us confidence for the future.

Full Profile : Combining passion with possibility

Every enquiry is an opportunity to shine and every one is a new challenge.

That’s what we like about research; you never know what you’re going to be asked to do tomorrow. It’s exciting, motivating and drives us to succeed.

We are very passionate about the experience we deliver to our clients. In recognition of our dedication to customer service, the Institute of Customer Service, has appointed us as an Associate Partner.

We continuously measure Customer Satisfaction for 30+ clients and we run the only Net Promoter(TM) benchmark in the new homes market.

Recent market research work has included feedback on new branding, member feedback for a trade association, a survey of eating and health for a major brand and insights research for a major B2B supplier.

Whilst we bring passion to our market research, we also bring a little science as well. Good research is about planning and design, populations, samples and sample sizes.

It’s also about choosing the right method.

We conduct research by telephone, web, email, post, street interviewing, executive interviewing and mystery shopping.

We undertake:
• Consumer Surveys,
• B2B Surveys
• Employee Satisfaction/Engagement surveys


We have partners who are members of:
• The Market Research Society
• Institute of Direct Marketing


The company is an Associate Partner of:
• The Institute of Customer Service

“In-house were super efficient at setting up and conducting this research. They worked with us all the way through to ensure we were 100% happy and delivered the results in a timely and professional manner. We would not hesitate to use them again and recommend their excellent service to others.” McKenna Townsend PR

“We found In-house to be very perceptive about how our business works. They came up with workable solutions to our logistical problems and were fast and accurate in getting first cut date back to us. In addition, when we wanted to drill down in to the detail, they got back to us with surprising speed with relevant information. In-house were a joy to work with”. Miele

“We have been impressed with the enthusiasm and patience of the team. In particular your understanding of our business and what information is important to us, whilst being able to bring a fun and light-hearted element to the survey work deserves a special mention. This, without doubt, is what sets you apart from being just another research company”. Travel Parasol

A great improvement on the previous survey we did. It gives me a broad view of issues and repetitive problems. Redrow Homes
