Established in 1994, ORB have grown to become one of the UK's leading bespoke corporate and issues-led market research companies. In more than a decade of continual growth, we have worked successfully with over 150 clients in the private, public and voluntary sectors in over 65 countries. Driven by a team of highly experienced market research professionals with almost 100 years' combined experience, we are proud to deliver both qualitative and quantitative research at the highest level.

As research providers, our aims are to meet and exceed the industry standards that are laid down by the professional bodies that we are members of, including the Market Research Society (MRS), European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research (ESOMAR) and the World Association of Public Opinion Research (WAPOR). ORB have been independently quality assured and given an excellent evaluation in both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. We are also registered under the Data Protection Act 1998.

At ORB, we seek to provide more than simply an efficient service; for each project, we provide a dedicated team of researchers whose innovative and creative thinking add an extra dimension to the results.

We not only understand how best to research stakeholder attitude, behaviour and opinion, but also how clients can best use our analysis and findings both strategically (in developing policy and communications) and tactically (for advertising, generating media interest and building a winning argument across the stakeholder community).

In 2002, we were the first market research company to offer a specific messaging service. We work with our clients' communication and public affairs teams to create, develop, test and measure successful messages, slogans and creative strategies.

Clients have remarked that, as we are a small agency, they benefit from building a close working relationship with our team.
