Client need

Key services:

Customer experience and satisfaction

Funding bid support

Business development

Business operations benchmarking

Award nomination support

We have been working with Chester Cathedral for over ten years supporting them in a number of areas. We originally started working with the Cathedral to help them to evaluate their customer’s experience and satisfaction. This is still at the core of what we do with them today. Using our research, the Cathedral are able to gain on-the-ground insights and make a difference to real business issues resulting in improved customer satisfaction and overall growth.

Research solution approach

We support Chester Cathedral in a number of areas. Our research has helped them to improve customer satisfaction, engage in more effective business practices and has provided evidence to support funding bids.

Our experienced research team carry out regular visitor surveys at the Cathedral. The results are then compared with established benchmarks to see where operations are doing well and which areas need improving. This allows the Cathedral team to make evidence-based decisions that have a real impact on the business and its goals.
