Earlier this year we asked Didobi Ltd to facilitate workshops with the 9 Night-Time Advisors in Ireland, on how to evaluate and assess the Night-Time Economy pilot locations, in order to support a more strategic approach to further investment in the development of the Night-Time Economy. Matthew from Didobi immediately understood the brief and delivered three workshops for us. The workshops were well presented and structured and provided a useful platform for discussions around the evaluation of our towns and cities at night. On a personal level I found Matthew an absolute pleasure to work with. Everything was delivered on time and carried out in a highly professional manner. I would have no problem recommending Didobi Ltd. in the future.

Working with Didobi Ltd has been an absolute pleasure. The quality of the research, the speed in which it was delivered, and the value in both output and financial terms has been outstanding. As Ireland embarks on its first concerted effort to deliver effective placemaking in action, Didobi’s analysis of data gaps in understanding Irish places, the consolidation of relevant available data, and development of an easily understood reporting tool has been instrumental in the effective delivery of Ireland’s ambitious Town Centre First initiative across all our villages, towns, and cities, which will see our 500+ villages/ towns and indeed cities becoming more vibrant, viable, and attractive places for people to live, work, invest in, and visit. Through Didobi Ltd’s research and work with the National Town Centre First Office in Ireland, local authorities in collaboration with communities across the country are now empowered to make evidenced based decisions to shape the future development of our villages, towns, and cities in a positive and outcome focused way through the whole of Government Town Centre First initiative. On a personal level, Matthew’s professionalism, skill, and experience have been key to the successful partnership between the National Town Centre First Office, Ireland and Didobi Ltd. His approach to understanding Irish places has been a game changer for the National Town Centre First Office. I highly recommend Didobi Ltd.

The Didobi team has been great in producing the Isle of Man first Town Audits. The team came in quickly and has done remarkably diligent job in such a small timeframe. It is so great to see all this data in one place. It allows the Isle of Man to benchmark its local economy for the very first time. The audits will be the foundations to the Isle of Man’s local economy strategy.

I was absolutely delighted by the outputs from this project. From the outset the depth of experience, understanding and energy that Didobi brought was excellent…… Thank you to all involved and I hope we can work again together.

I was very impressed by Didobi and what they were able to achieve….…… They clearly communicated what they were doing and were very collaborative in choosing the data measures. They exhibited very detailed knowledge of data, potential pitfalls when using data, as well as an excellent ability to source open and commercial data to achieve the outcomes required.

Our thanks to Matthew and the Didobi team for their research and insights in the science and tech sectors, the trends shaping its growth, the roles of cities and universities and emerging areas for growth. I was really impressed with the research data and their work will help us inform our focus.

Didobi have run training for my team to build our knowledge and confidence around data. We’re now much more clued up and informed when talking with analysts, commissioning research and reports, agreeing grant monitoring frameworks and procuring data.

Matthew and the team at Didobi have been invaluable in de-mystifying data for me, my team and London’s local authorities. We hired Didobi to help local authorities create evidence bases for their night-time strategies. They’ve helped the local authorities to understand the key questions they need to answer about their boroughs at night, what sources of data they can use, what gaps are left, and how to address them.

It was a pleasure to work with Didobi. They delivered a comprehensive, engaging and highly visual markets report (including a summary infographic) based on gaining a detailed understanding of the markets through visits, a survey with over 400 responses and analysis of key data. Their work will help inform future activity to support the high street.

Great work by the Didobi team in delivering our latest ULI Asia Pacific report - Understanding the Life Sciences Sector in Asia Pacific – the Case for Investment. It rode on the success of the Life Sciences report published by ULI Europe, which was also conducted by the Didobi. It was a very collaborative process and well managed by the Didobi team. Their deep industry knowledge and experience brought added value to the research project.
