Brown Yardley Research
Handling the UK stages of world-wide projects originated in the USA.
I have had the privilege to work with Jeremy Williams on several qualitative projects on behalf of Fortune 100 companies. The projects ran very smoothly from start to finish. I especially appreciated the 'added value' that Jeremy contributed in terms of his knowledge concerning the research itself as well as his experience with regard to interpreting and analyzing the research findings.
I would recommend Jeremy without hesitation to other companies that are in need of research assistance and fresh thinking in the UK.

Global Aerospace
In-depth interviews with airlines, aerospace manufacturers and brokers in the UK, Europe and the USA, to help Global to understand its competitive marketplace and develop its service.
Global Aerospace wanted to know if it was providing its customers with what they wanted, and what we could do to make our service better.
We wanted the honest view of what clients and brokers really thought.
So we looked for an independent researcher who could secure co-operation from busy senior people, understand the real issues and
probe the views expressed and the reasons for them.
We were provided with all this by Headtime - together with a report that gave us a very clear view of what we needed to do to serve our clients better.
