Trusted by industry leaders

My experience of working with AMA Research on our GAI research project on the value of door hardware on a construction project was a thoroughly positive one.

The team I worked with were thoroughly professional, kept me up to date regularly on progress and engaged with me throughout the project. The final research report was detailed and clear and was exactly what we as a client were looking for.

I would thoroughly recommend AMA and their team and look forward to working with them again on our next project.”
