WORK WITH US

When your success depends on understanding people - how they think, feel and experience what you do - you need insight that goes beyond the numbers and helps you turn evidence into meaningful improvement.

At Seymour Research, we understand how uncertainty affects confidence, credibility, and momentum. That’s why we dig deeper to uncover the human stories behind the statistics. Whether you’re improving programmes, policies, wellbeing or experiences, we help you see the bigger picture, revealing insights that empower teams, shape strategy, and create measurable, lasting change.

Here to make

insight easier

Hi, I’m Kathy, Director of
Seymour Research

I set up Seymour Research because I love helping organisations understand people’s experiences and make positive change. Research can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t need to. My team and I bring clarity, warmth and rigour to every project. We turn evidence into insight you can actually use. We work across the public, private and third sectors, helping our clients understand what’s working, what isn’t, and what to do next.
