We are a small and specialist consultancy and provide bespoke research services to a wide range of clients in the public and social sectors. Our clients appreciate our personalised, responsive and flexible service.

We maintain the highest professional and ethical standards. We are a Company Partner of the Market Research Society (MRS) and all our staff are members of the MRS and the Social Research Association (SRA).

Our clients include central government departments, agencies and NDPBs, local authorities; and other charities and not for profit organisations. We are currently accredited on the framework agreements of the Department for Work and Pensions, Office of Fair Trading and OFWAT.

We use a wide range of qualitative and quantitative methods. Our portfolio of work successfully completed includes projects which range from the very small (a handful of interviews) to the very large (a telephone omnibus survey of nearly 15,000 organisations); from those with a quick turnaround to panel surveys and baseline and follow-up surveys which take place over a number of years; from those which use standard methods (literature reviews, face-to-face and telephone interviews, focus and discussion groups and postal and telephone surveys) to those which use more innovative methods (web-based surveys, recruitment through chat rooms and blogs).

Our clients prefer CGA for three reasons:

• our knowledge, experience and professionalism
• our ability to meet clients’ information needs
• our personalised, responsive and flexible service
• our unbeatable value for money.
