Statement of Principles

Swift Research is one of Britain’s most respected independent market research organisations. Our research team specialise in understanding and implementing a full complement of both qual and quant research techniques. We offer public and private sector clients a cost effective, flexible and high quality service – from multi-mode data collection through to provision of commercial insight and strategic recommendations. A history
of loyal satisfied clients and repeat business underlines our credibility. 

Recent wins for Local Authority Framework agreements and Public Sector Consortiums put us at the forefront of public sector tracking and satisfaction research.

Our private sector clients are varied, from start-up companies to blue chip organisations – all our clients can be assured of an attentive, flexible service with involvement from senior researchers at all stages.
Our facilities include: –
• 60 station telephone unit with CATI
• In-house data bureau
• Hall testing facilities
• Sensory Lab
• On-site viewing facility (inner:visions)

Our sector expertise has enabled us to develop additional services to meet more specific requirements. These services include: –
• small:talk – our expertise of FMCG research with pregnant ladies and mums of kids aged 0- 4 years.
• web:sense – used for central location tests using CAWI (Computer Assisted Web Interviewing) and includes our innovative web log (blog) research.
• inner:sense – a sensory lab with booths for testing personal care products (such as dental care, skin care, hair care etc).
We also specialise in training ‘sniff’ testers for a variety of fragrance research and have an inhouse laundry lab for preparing product samples.
• expert panels – for several clients we have recruited and maintained specialist panels for on-going research. Categories include confectionary, personal care and household products.
• International Research – we offer a single point of contact via our sister company Europass International Research for multi-country, multi-lingual research on a global basis.
