Who we are

We are a well-established public policy consultancy, specialising in the labour market, which we define broadly to include: skills and employment, qualifications and National Occupational Standards, LMI (which has also led to several wider Observatory projects), e-learning, basic skills, young people (especially the NEET group), and enterprise, often in a regeneration context, and all at policy, programme and project levels. 

We are also a leading consultancy in the maritime field.

We provide services throughout the policy cycle, notably research and development, feasibility studies and evaluation, and some long term programme support.
