RESEARCH, MONITORING & EVALUATION

Nic has led research and monitoring and evaluation projects across the UK and internationally. Nic specialises in a broad range of research techniques, from developing quantitative on-street, on-bus, on-line, and telephone surveys, to leading focus groups, in-depth face to face and telephone interviews. Nic has led projects understanding public transport user needs, and has used ethnographic (observational) and discussion groups in which to define the stresses faced by transport users and providers in order to identify solutions to enable mobility for all.
