Franke

"We have worked with Dave and Richard on a number of important strategic and tactical studies and highly recommend them as the experts operating in our sector.Down to earth, easy to work with, they are key partners and an excellent source for understanding more about the wider kitchen and homeware sector.We have undertaken consumer, tradesperson and supplier research through a number of methods; I always recommend Eureka."

Plumbase

"Eureka! helped us create a unique customer trade segmentation which we are embedding into the heart of Plumbase. The results have also allowed us to share key insights with our suppliers, maintaining our position as sector knowledge holders and industry partners. Eureka! demonstrated to me that they are experts in our field and Dave and Rich are a pleasure to work with. They have years of research and insight experience in our sector, why would you use anyone else?"

BMF

"With prolonged enforced closures and delays in the materials supply chain it is more important than ever that we understand how our trade customers are coping and adapting as they return to work. Thus, we are supporting Eureka! Research in their unique initiative to understand the changing landscape in Plumbing & Heating."

Marston’s

"The work provided by Eureka! has been instrumental in furthering the understanding of our consumer. It laid the foundations for our annual category reports and has given us the insight to support several of our decisions over the past 12 months. The results and methodology behind them have also been well received by customers in all channels. Rich and Dave were a pleasure to work with and managed the project effectively for us throughout. We will definitely continue to work with Eureka!"

Geberit

"We have worked with Eureka! on a couple of projects that have been of strategic importance to Geberit. They are clearly experts in the bathroom category, developing and executing projects that really deliver.

We certainly look forward to working with them again in the future."

The Bristan team always enjoy working closely with Eureka! and we look forward to continuing this relationship over the coming months and years."

They not only provide us with well-thought through market research, they act as a true partner, providing us with a sounding board to test new ideas and scope out future direction. I would truly recommend the guys to other creative agencies, seeking to expand their portfolio and deliver tangible benefits to clients on the back of evidence based insight."

Warwick University

"We are currently working with Eureka! to better understand student expectations of university life and the reality of the student experience. This information is a vital step in developing a new communications and engagement strategy for the Student Union going forward. The guys have brought fresh thinking and energy into the process and are now undertaking qualitative research directly with undergraduates and postgraduates."

They rapidly got to grips with our category and designed a study focussing on a snacking occasion of particular interest to us. Not only did they meet the challenging deadline we set, they also significantly over-delivered, providing us with additional insight to further help us understand the consumer and support our business case internally."

Racing Foundation

"Eureka provide an essential resource in ensuring we remain engaged and informed. They work flexibly to ensure we get timely and accurate feedback and they present it in an engaging and constructive way. I am sure we are a better organisation by being open to feedback and we are better placed to respond to that feedback by using the skills and expertise of Eureka."

St Basils

"We commissioned Eureka to deliver research to feed into our future strategic planning. From initial conversations, planning, design to delivery of results, the whole process was exemplary, and it was a real pleasure to work with them. What really stood out was the time they took to really understand our brand, and this was reflected in the overall quality of their work. Professional from start to finish, we highly recommend their services."

Polypipe

"We have used other market research companies in the past but having used Eureka for the first time in the middle of 2020 we won’t now be using anyone else. The level of quality and expertise was very impressive. Eureka have great experience working with plumbers and this really showed in the sessions and in the pre-planning meetings. Without question I would recommend Eureka who we will be strengthening our partnership with over the coming months and years."
