  Gary and the team are always very responsive – making time to talk through ideas and solutions informally. I have a great deal of confidence that they will always recommend the most appropriate and pragmatic approaches to achieve our objectives and every project we have worked together on over the past few years has been a success in that regard.

The team not only provides the statistics, but also a thorough recommendation and explanation of why this is the best approach to take and how the data should be interpreted.

  Gary is a world class statistician with both a broad and deep knowledge of the statistical tools available to market researchers, and how they can best be applied to give our clients accurate and actionable insight.

  Chrissie Wells Breaking Blue Research
- Testimonials
  
  Gary and his team really understand the research business, are friendly and helpful, give advice on methods when I’m floundering and (importantly for us non-statisticians!) explain methods and outputs in layman’s terms. I know, whenever they’re involved in a project, it will be completed on time and accurately, with easily digestible outputs. Gary himself has the experience and gravitas to be extremely credible in front of clients. For all these reasons, The Stats People is always my first port of call when complex statistical analysis is needed.
