With business professionals under more pressure than ever in the workplace, sparing the time to participate in market research is rarely at the top of their priority list! We recognise how stretched and time-poor business audiences can be and this appreciation has helped us identify the most successful routes to reach and engage them. Our field and recruitment team have extensive experience recruiting niche business audiences, from owners and MDs, to other senior professionals. Our interviewers are also highly skilled in engaging the full spectrum of business cohorts, including both internal and external stakeholders.
Recent market and social research projects conducted by our public sector team in the field of business and enterprise have spanned a wide range of current issues from cyber security, skills development and the adoption of new technologies to business ownership models. From large-scale surveys with thousands of financial decision-makers in SMEs across the UK, to tightly focused deep dives into key industries to better understand adoption rates of new manufacturing tech, the breadth of our experience means we are able to work with you to devise a tailored research programme to suit your specific business and policy needs.
Delivering projects with clarity, professionalism and efficiency
Whether our research with business audiences is conducted by telephone, online or via other primary methods, our priority is to ensure professionalism and efficiency at all times. We do our utmost to ensure that everyone we engage is left with a positive impression of DJS Research and our clients, and the knowledge that taking part in our research has been a good use of their precious time.
We have a highly skilled and experienced in-house team of specialist B2B telephone interviewers, many of whom have worked at DJS Research for over a decade. The team are experts at engaging with senior decision-makers, getting through ‘gatekeepers’ (e.g. receptionists) and maximising response rates, whilst capturing high-quality data and insights to inform decision-making in the public sector.
DJS Research's business and enterprise projects in the spotlight
We have conducted a wide range of projects for central and local government, non-departmental bodies, regulators and other public sector organisations, focused on business, enterprise and innovation. Our work has included sector and audience-specific surveys and consultations targeting, for example, by business size, profession and/or region and engaging diverse groups from SMEs, health professionals and MPs to senior representatives of trade bodies and manufacturers. You can find a snapshot of some of our most recent and high-profile, projects below:

"The work by DJS Research was critical for filling a gap in our understanding of the population that we were designing policy to support and therefore building consensus around our approach. As well as providing valuable data on a wide range of experiences, DJS Research were able to collect and convey vital information about how experiences differed between people with different protected characteristics. This put us in the best possible position to complete our equalities impact assessment."
"DJS Research undertook a business survey on our behalf that involved identifying and contacting 1,000 businesses close to the Wales Coast Path and National Trails in Wales. The team developed a questionnaire and undertook a survey – the findings and recommendations were presented within a series of reports and an accompanying webinar to key stakeholders. The project, that’s taken 18 months, has been very well managed from the outset. We have been very impressed by the teams’ ways of working – methodical, realistic, and adaptable. The final reports and presentation developed are both visually pleasing and have been well received by us and our partners. We would not hesitate to recommend DJS Research."
"DJS Research were our preferred research partner based on their superb industry reputation and their can-do attitude in support of our bespoke project requirements and time frames. We required 220,000+ recruitment applications to be cleansed, aggregated and analysed to provide clear and concise outputs. The service was exceptional, offering complete flexibility and guidance throughout the project. This has resulted in the aggregation of valuable data, which is now easy to interpret and provide commentary on. We look forward to working with DJS Research again as our retained and highly valued research partner." (now operating as Amberjack)
"DJS Research took on our research project at short notice and with a very tight turnaround period. All deadlines were met and the results have been extremely useful in promoting our policy positions to influencers and stakeholders."
"This was the first time we had used DJS Research, and the project ran smoothly, to time and budget. But what impressed us most was the the sense that everyone we spoke to, from director level to trainee, made us feel that our work was really important to them... that kind of experience is hard to find these days."
"Good at helping us to scope this work and clear on how the process would be delivered. Adaptable when needed but also set expectations clearly when we changed the scope a bit. Good delivery of information and data and great customer service."
"We used DJS Research to commission a survey of our members. They worked incredibly hard to get to know the reasons we wanted the survey and how to formulate the questions. The data provided was excellent and in a format that was easy to present to the rest of the National Executive. We would absolutely recommend DJS Research to anyone else."
"DJS Research have done a fantastic job for us. We asked them to engage and discuss a relatively dry subject with a niche audience. They not only managed to secure interviews with senior level people, they also captured some incredibly in-depth and insightful feedback. They were highly professional, kept us fully informed throughout the project; were very approachable and flexible to our requirements."
