A major UK retail bank needed to understand the needs and experiences of its premier banking customers to inform the redesign of a proposition that would serve a high-value segment with significantly different expectations from mass-market retail.

We recruited premier banking customers who held accounts with the relevant institution and met the profile criteria for the target segment, ensuring participants had genuine experience of the proposition under review. The recruitment was handled discreetly given the sensitivity of engaging existing customers and the importance of avoiding any commercial or retention framing.

A major property and retail group operating across the Gulf region needed to understand how its REIT structure and asset transition strategy were being perceived by institutional investors and capital market stakeholders before advancing a significant restructuring initiative.

We engaged institutional investors, analysts, and capital market advisers with direct knowledge of Gulf-region real estate and REIT structures, speaking with each independently to establish how the group was positioned in the market, where concerns existed around the transition strategy, and what the investor community would need to see to maintain confidence through the process.

We identified and engaged professionals with current strategic responsibility for alternative energy investment and transition planning across corporate and institutional organisations globally, applying rigorous screening to confirm seniority and genuine decision-making authority rather than advisory or policy roles. The breadth of the brief required coordinated recruitment across multiple geographies and industry sectors.

The research required participants who could speak to the actual experience of navigating investment decisions without professional intermediary support.

We spoke with senior leaders across the business to establish how the acquisition had landed, what customers most valued about the business, and where they saw the relationship going under new ownership. The engagement was structured to surface views that were unlikely to emerge in direct commercial conversations.
