Our "Special Skills" Associate Consultants and Strategic Partnerships

As specialists in public sector research projects we make sure that we can call on specific skills when they are needed. We maintain and constantly update a reserve list of specialists who we can bring in for those projects where their knowledge can make a real difference.

We are always looking for independent professionals with knowledge and experience that could help ALAPublic expand its core public research business. If you are interested, you can read more about this opportunity here.

We also have a number of strategic alliances with other companies that provide specialist services to public sector organisations.

Andrew Lester & Associates Limited have a special relationship with CWA, one of the largest providers of the Best value Satisfaction surveys in 2003-4 and 2006-07. We aim to provide a full range of ‘Best Value’ services to public sector organisations.

Our association means that we can utilise the unique experience and expertise of CWA to ensure that our public sector research services can help you achieve much more than you can with other research providers. Key areas where we are leading the way include:

• Making significant improvements in future BVPI satisfaction scores / Using your New Place survey to produce improvements
• Communications strategies and tools that you can use to make your customers ‘value’ you more
• Helping you achieve efficiency gains at all levels of your decision making (i.e. achieving more from your strategies as well as helping to cut costs without cutting services)
• Customer 1st
• Making the most from the support a council provides its ‘beneficiaries’
• Getting more for less from your Consultations
