I find the research and monitoring service very useful. It helps us in planning effective engagement with the work programme at the Northern Ireland Assembly and contributes to our policy development work at the Federation of Small Businesses. It also assists with tracking events at both the Assembly and at Westminster.

Client Testimonials

The ABPI Northern Ireland Launch Meeting in The Long Gallery, Stormont was a crucial event for us, as it was an opportunity to set the standard by which we wanted to be judged. Chambré worked with us throughout the planning stage and were invaluable on the day, guiding us through the complexity of running an event at Stormont and every aspect of the meeting was taken care of and the attention to detail was excellent. We look forward to a continued working relationship as we grow and develop our campaigning for access to new medicines for everyone.
