Research collaboration

Durham University Business School researchers are working at the intellectual cutting-edge of their disciplines. All our research institutes and centres work not just to an academic agenda but also seek ways of working ever more closely with business and government to identify new issues and to disseminate their findings.

Nigel Wright Recruitment has worked on two collaborative research projects with Durham University Business School. When conducting research it is always difficult to get our customers, mainly senior corporate leaders with little time, interested in participating in market research surveys. Working alongside a major research institute like Durham University Business School provides extra credibility which ultimately has a positive impact on overall response rates.

The reports produced by the School’s leading academics are always highly relevant to our customers, and this helps to raise our profile in the UK and internationally, and contributes to our overall strategy of building the Nigel Wright brand on a knowledge platform.
