Research services: Public Perception & Polls

We’re a member of the British Polling Council (BPC) and our polls are regularly used by some of the leading business and consumer press.

We’re an experienced political pollster and our polls have featured throughout the world’s media, including Sky News, BBC News, The Economist, The Guardian and The Sunday Times.

  • Proprietary online panel Panelbase has over 370,000 UK adults aged 16+
  • 800 interviewers and surveys completed on tablets as well as a 75-seat UK-based CATI unit, should you require targeted constituency polling or a hard-to-reach demographic
  • All polls are run by our RD, who personally reviews data and advises on sampling, methodology, questionnaire design, weighting and predictive models
  • Reliability & validity of data is ensured by the British Polling Council’s code of conduct to which we adhere as members

So, if you’re looking for an online panel with impeccable data quality, whether it’s fieldwork support for your polling activity, sample only or a full-service research project, please get in touch. Alternatively, if you’d like to conduct your own polls to generate PR we can advise you on survey design, weighting, sampling and models to ensure the data stands up to scrutiny.
