Michael Lloyd Research

MLR is a social research consultancy based in West Kirby (Wirral, Merseyside), that works with an associate network across the Liverpool City Region, Cheshire and the north of England. Our work spans across a range of sectors - including: • criminal justice & community safety. • health & wellbeing. • housing & inequalities. MLR is all about applying social research to support local communities. The 'local' and 'community' elements will vary with each project, however the skills and understanding we bring to bear are consistently grounded in: • quality methods and a focus on quality outcomes; • applicable to many different fields; and • adaptable to the varied socio-economic and policy ‘landscapes’ that exist across the UK. Customer focus is key - success stems from being able to listen well, translating needs into a clear plan of action, then applying the right mix of skills and people to deliver a solution that works best. Customer feedback indicates this works really well. So why not dig deeper and find out more?
