Here are a few things that clients have said about working with me...
“Tom has recently completed an evaluation of ‘Ollee’, a virtual friend for children aged 8-11, funded by BBC Children in Need’s A Million and Me Initiative. Tom has done a fantastic job. He quickly got to grips with the complexity of the project and really understood the context and development of Ollee and what it hopes to achieve. Despite the challenging circumstances of Covid-19, the evaluation was completed on time and to an exceptional standard. Tom’s work not only helped us to understand what impact Ollee has had since launch, but also provided us with a set of clear and actionable recommendations for Ollee’s development. We’re already hoping to extend our working relationship with Tom and have no hesitation in recommending him to others.”
Vicki Shotbolt, CEO, Parent Zone
"Tom has recently completed a piece of research utilising open data, interviews and surveys which was exactly as specified, delivered on time and was highly insightful. Tom has been fantastic to work with from start to finish. He is excellent at understanding our needs and the context of the work required. He listens, asks the right questions, and gets to the crux quickly. He has been great at keeping regular contact and working collaboratively and transparently."
Tom Watson, NAVCA
"Tom is a pleasure to work with. His experienced but gentle approach is perfect for collating information out of participants reluctant to share their world view with strangers which in turn leads to an exacting and real impact statement, rich in analysis, statistics and case studies. He is on a mission to change the world through thorough evaluations and logic models."
James Lewis, Action for Elders
"Since knowing Tom, he is the one person who has been able to help me understand data, impact and evaluation more that anyone else I have worked with. Tom’s immense knowledge, coupled with his desire to always use data and evaluation to tell an honest and compelling story sets him apart from others. The care he takes over making sure he and more importantly, the people he works with, understand what is happening and what it means to the work or project, allows the whole team feel part of the data and evaluation process."
Tim Brazier, Sheffield Design School
"Tom has consummate data design, evaluation and quantitative research skills and experience. I cannot recommend Tom enough for his collaborative and methodological approach, and commitment to evidencing what works for social research and practice."
