About Us

PFA Research has been managing evidence-based communication and consultancy projects for almost 20 years and has become an established market research consultancy with a reputation for outstanding customer service and value for money.

All our services are mutually supportive and enable us to provide individual solutions to our clients' needs. The in-depth understanding of individual markets we gain through our market intelligence surveys supports the strategic direction assignments we carry out, and our ability to provide additional data validation services allows us to offer our clients a total information management resource.

PFA Research has its operations centre in Cornwall and an office in Exeter, with a core team of skilled researchers and interviewers trained in business-to-business and public opinion polling research techniques. However, our services are provided across the UK and with members of our team fluent in the main business languages we operate on a truly global basis.
