Over the last few years I have worked exclusively with PCP on a range of projects, large and small, consumer and B2B, customers and staff. I have no hesitation in saying that PCP are absolutely first rate partners. They are brilliant at what they do. They are very cost-effective. They make the process, however technical, easy to understand. I am very happy to recommend PCP.
Steve Williams (Managing Partner) Stratosphere, LiverpoolOur academic team at Northumbria have worked with PCP for seven years now, and I have always been thrilled with the service provided. What initially started as me requesting PCP to collect some data on my behalf has become a wider partnership which many academics take advantage of.
PCP have always been swift and reliable. Irrespective of the complexity of our requests these are handled with ease, providing credible data in good time and in a very accessible format. Their work has enabled multiple staff to achieve some very prestigious academic publications which is testimony to the rigour of PCP’s work. I would not hesitate to recommend them to any other academics looking for a cost-efficient means of accessing representative data.
Dr David Hart, Associate Professor in Marketing, Northumbria UniversityCommissioning PCP for this unique first-of-its kind research was both an honour and an exciting time. Working to very tight deadlines, both PCP and 5Pillars maintained a professional and respectful relationship. Indeed, it was a new endeavour for both parties, which made the research on ‘normative Islam’ that extra bit special.
I would strongly recommend others to use the market research services of PCP. I have no doubt British Muslims in their tens of thousands were impressed by the work carried out by Peter Pickersgill and his company.
Muhammad “Dilly” Hussain (Deputy Editor)5Pillars, Based in LondonWe’ve been working with PCP since 2019, and each year they make the process look effortless. Organising mystery shoppers across the UK within a tight timeframe can be challenging, but PCP execute it brilliantly. The team presents the results fantastically, and the insights are invaluable to our decision-making process. We truly appreciate their support and would happily recommend their services.
Gemma Hawkes (Marketing Manager), SIS LtdI’ve been using PCP for more than 15 years and have always been impressed by their professional service, attention to detail and flexibility. The team regularly goes out of their way to help meet tight deadlines and offer valuable advice.
Alistair Lockhart (Insight Director)Savvy, LeedsPCP Market Research provided an excellent friendly and efficient service. But in addition to the nuts and bolts of organising a complex process of surveying, they also offered very helpful advice on increasing returns from potential respondents. When the survey takes place again we will have no hesitation in returning to PCP.
