Why use us instead of a larger CRO?

OK, there are plenty of much larger companies who offer the same services that we do. You’ve heard their names many times. Perhaps you’ve never heard of us until you stumbled across this website 5 minutes ago. So why use us?

  • We care about your business, no matter how small. Some of our clients have told us that the larger CROs don’t always treat small projects as a huge priority, as they are too busy chasing the multi-million-dollar deals. We are a small company, and care about all our clients, no matter how large or small the project.
  • As a small organisation, we are flexible and adaptable. We will complete your project in the way that you want it done, not in the way that our “systems” dictate that it should be done.
  • As we don’t have such a large infrastructure to support, our prices are usually lower (sometimes much lower) than our larger competitors.
  • We are small enough to maintain the personal touch with our projects. You will always know who you are working with, and you will always be able to speak to the director of the company.
  • Some of our clients have told us that they have found it hard to keep up with the revolving door of personnel in some larger companies, and the staff working on the start of a project are often no longer there at the end of it. We have a pleasingly low staff turnover (less than 10% per annum), so you will get to build up good relationships with the people you work with here. Because we like statistics, you can see a Kaplan-Meier survival graph of our staff turnover below:

    More dodgy statistics

    Back in April, I wrote that perhaps I should start a “dodgy statistic of the month competition”. OK, May and June have been and gone with no more nominations, so I’ll make up for it by nominating 3 for July.
    The first nomination goes to Vince Cable. This surprises me, as he is one of the [...]
