“IFF are a fantastic agency to work with. We’ve always felt that there is a strong sense of partnership. Every time they look over something there is always a willingness to advise and provide suggestions. They’ve been very flexible and always deliver rapidly and efficiently. Delivery is always on-point, we’re always kept in the loop and when they say they’re on top of something or say they will deliver we trust that it’s going to be true. It’s been wonderful working with them.”
Warren Earl, Customer Insight Manager, Peabody
“Since 2019, IFF Research have been the British Council’s evaluation partner on two projects in our Education portfolio in East Asia: Generation UK (an international mobility programme for UK graduates), and Higher Education Institutional Partnerships. IFF’s work with us over the past year has been transformational in terms of delivering high quality evidence of programme outcomes, and in raising our understanding of how good evidence is produced and used to inform programme design and implementation. This work has gained praise across the organisation and is helping us to develop models for evidence and evidence use across other programmes and regions.”
Gary Mundy, Regional M&E Advisor, East Asia, British Council
"We have worked with IFF Research on the Employer Skills Survey since 2011 and their guidance and expertise has been key to walking the fine line between maintaining the survey time series, whilst also ensuring the survey asks questions in areas of increasing interest (e.g. employment of EU nationals in the 2017 survey)."
James Carey, Welsh Government
“It is a real pleasure working with IFF on the largest annual social survey in the UK. Their ability to adapt, attention to detail and adherence to principles of good practice in research have led to the establishment of a strong foundation for Graduate Outcomes. Good communication within the organisation and with HESA as their client has enabled us to tackle challenges in a timely manner while meeting critical deadlines. Being a solution-oriented organisation, IFF have made a significant contribution towards the successful customisation of the CATI system, in order to meet the most complex requirements of this survey.”
