What we do

We provide independent economic advice to help clients secure funding, shape strategy and make confident decisions.

Our work spans business cases, funding bids, economic strategy, policy development and impact assessment.

We support organisations across the public and private sectors, and develop the evidence needed to inform policy, engage stakeholders and influence decision-makers.

How we work

Our clients work directly with senior economists who combine deep technical expertise with a clear understanding of how decisions are made in practice.

We bring together robust analysis, strategic insight and clear communication to deliver work that is credible, practical and focused on impact.

What makes us different
Founding partners Paul Chamberlain and Chris Walker are former senior advisers in the Government Economic Service.
All analysis is carried out by experienced economists — no off-the-shelf approaches and no delegation of core work.
We provide bespoke, high-quality advice grounded in a clear understanding of how decisions are made by funders, policymakers and delivery partners.
