A Selection of  Client Testimonials

Age Concern

We enlisted the support of the Mackman Group to help provide a solution to a customer questionnaire problem, which arose due to an unprecedented level of response. The questionnaire had been sent out with a twice yearly magazine we produce to approximately 15,000 readers and we received 1,400 back. These were paper questionnaires and we quickly realised that the time and skills needed to input and analyse this data was not on hand within the organisation. Bearing this in mind we decided to look for a reputable agency that could help us deal with this effectively on a pro-bono basis, as we didn’t have funds available to enable us to cover the cost for this work.

The team at Mackman Group stepped up and managed to provide us with an online data management tool, which provided our admin team with a tailored method for inputting data quickly and easily and would allow for the data to be managed and worked accordingly. Not only did Mackman do this, but they worked to produce the insight and data from the questionnaire, which we needed and was in reality the most important part of the exercise.

The responses we’ve had have been fantastic, and mainly from frail older people in Suffolk, who need extra support and assistance to live independently. Not only has the exercise helped us understand the needs of older people in the county better, but it also raised some important questions, which will help our organisation drive forward new ideas in the future.

Marketing Agency

We recently acquired a client responsible for running a retail shopping centre in a busy major town in East Anglia. We needed research to provide market intelligence to inform marketing strategy and serve as a baseline measurement for measuring the success of future marketing activities.

We were impressed with the initial response from Mackman Research as it was intelligent and sensibly priced. Importantly because they are an East Anglian business they were able to bring a local understanding and knowledge to the project as well as offering cost savings.

We subsequently commissioned Mackman Research to undertake qualitative and quantitative research in the form of face-to-face interviews. They undertook the complete project (design of the methodology, questionnaire, data collection, analysis, and reporting) within time and to budget. At all times the staff at Mackman Research were very professional and easy to deal with.

The findings were clearly presented and have proved invaluable in helping to shape the marketing activities of the shopping centre. I can recommend Mackman Research without hesitation as a specialist research company with whom you can place your trust. We intend to continue using their services.
