Flexible Research Service Launched

UK energy consultancy research4 has announced a recession-beating MR service, 'intelligence desk', which in addition to promising quick answers to business questions, offers a project management service for companies with no internal market research function.

The firm specialises in the fields of energy, energy efficiency and the carbon economy. intelligence desk combines elements of desk research, market profiling, research project management and market intelligence consultancy. Clients can buy the service by the hour for smaller intelligence requests, or make use of a more in-depth market profiling service.

Founder John Clay, who has extensive experience both client and agency side, comments: 'We will write the research brief and look for the best approach to answer the research questions being posed. We will act totally impartially to ensure that research isn't commissioned for research's sake. If an agency needs to be commissioned then our experience of getting the best value will ensure that the most cost-effective approach is taken.'

Based in Warwickshire, the company is online at www.research4.co.uk .
