Research and Data Insights for
Better Business Decisions

Hello and welcome to
Abacus Research
Abacus Research is a research consultancy and project management service.
Based on many years of both qualitative and quantitave research experience, I started Abacus Research to be able to offer a variety of options to help organisations access the research answers they need without compromising
on quality.
Services include
1. Research services and data gathering for your large or small scale research requirements as your freelance research partner. This might include simple surveys, focus groups and ethnographic studies or complex mixed methods.
2. An expert research project manager for a research partner of your choice.
Why Abacus Research?
After years working in both both business strategy and research and having completed my doctorate in both quantitave and qualitative research, I decided it was time to follow my dream of helping organisations access answers to key business decisions simply and easily.
As a freelance service, I can flex up when needed but
most importantly you know you are getting high level
expertise at a time you need it.
You want a "quick survey" ?
No problem but let me run an expert check that the
data you get at the end is usable.
You need someone to project manage your next
research project without having to recruit someone?
No problem - I can make sure you only use the survey
tools that you need not ones you think you need.
Need a buyer persona or segment developed to
improve your sales?
No problem, I have worked with a global network of
research partners across multiple sectors, so you can
access a wide skill set.
