 ‘Very smooth and seamless, thanks!’ 

‘Great Focus Group sessions at Manchester’s @TheTalkingShopmcr!  Great facilities and service, highly recommended’ 

‘Just to let you know the team were really pleased with you guys, said you were great and have a super lovely team!  So thanks for all your work on this one.’ 

‘Excellent!  Really accommodating and helpful in every way’ 

 'We love the Talking Shop, the facilities and professionalism of the team are superb. Particularly important to us is the quality of the technology. We use a lot of footage in debriefs, and the video quality is excellent. As is the clever Magic Marker, which means our moderators can unobtrusively click and mark video to find a point of interest to edit when creating the debrief.'
