Client testimonials
What clients are saying about our work:
“SMPL Research’s thoughtful engagement with school-aged girls on challenging topics provided Connected Places Catapult with invaluable insights into the lived experiences and perceptions of transport safety, which elevated underrepresented voices in the research. Their comprehensive approach and findings have significantly deepened our understanding, allowing us to make more informed and impactful recommendations.”
Social Research Specialist, Connected Places Catapult
“Poppy and the SMPL team have been great research partners…I very much appreciated being kept updated on proceedings; I was consulted every step of the way and reports were provided when promised. When I requested tweaks or further information on things, they were provided in good time. I have no hesitation in recommending Poppy – she has been very thorough and communicative.”
Independent Business Owner
“The SMPL Research team were fantastic to work with on the independent evaluation of our Family Hubs programme. They were professional throughout, really flexible when things changed, and always delivered on time. The report was brilliantly formatted…we loved the creative use of different media to capture feedback, which brought the findings to life. Their approach made the whole process straightforward and collaborative, and the insights they provided were clear and valuable. We’d happily work with them again.”
