"The research enabled us to produce a report that clearly highlighted the need for political education for children, aimed at MPs … Working with DJS Research was a great experience. I never had to chase them or worry about any issues with the research. Despite the complexity of the project, it was completed on time and within budget."
"We recently worked with DJS Research on some insight into new angling audiences. They provided an assured and efficient approach and delivered on time and on budget. Their professionalism and quality of work they produced throughout the project was exemplary and to a very high standard."
“Waltham Forest Council recently commissioned DJS Research to run our employee survey and it proved to be an excellent decision. DJS Research are fantastic to work with; from their partnership approach to working and their exceptional knowledge and expertise to their insightful reporting, we felt we were in the best of hands at each stage of the project. DJS Research are an excellent critical friend, whose main objective is to improve existing processes, to refine ideas and to ensure the best possible outcome for their clients."
"I just wanted to say a great big thank you from the team here at the Met Office. It’s been a difficult year for us all and Alex, Claire and everyone involved at DJS Research have done a sterling job for us. The projects have had some pretty big challenges, which we worked through together and you produced results which elicited some really positive feedback from the team as well as some extra analysis which has been really useful. You’ve delivered everything on time and to great quality and just been super reliable. Please pass on our thanks to all at DJS Research!"
“Danny has been working for the Department for Education & Skills (DfES) for some 18 months now. His market research experience and skills have been invaluable in taking forward the customer focus work in the Department. He has worked on a number of high profile projects including the management of surveys to track public and young people's perceptions. Part of this work includes presenting his analysis to the Secretary of State for Education. He has become renowned as a specialist source and he has built up an excellent reputation for high quality work and a pragmatic and challenging approach.”
"DJS Research exceeded our expectations throughout the project providing a flexible and genuinely efficient service. They clearly have expertise and were very happy to share it, always providing ideas about how we could meet our targets. In our view they provided value for money and needed virtually no management."
"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."
“The work completed was done efficiently, to a high standard, to the identified budget and to the agreed timescales. The team were flexible to work with and clearly communicated the project progress throughout. It fully met the brief, which was commissioned in a way that ensured the integrity of the organisation was maintained and project commitments met. I will be sure to include the company within any further tender opportunities for similar works and will recommend them to colleagues. In short, an enthusiastic, experienced and committed team which delivered quality from start to finish." (now known as Forestry and Land Scotland)
