Recommendations
Some of the feedback we’ve received from our wonderful clients
We engaged HRA Global to look at opportunities for Victorian food and drink exporters post-Brexit. The report they delivered was incredibly comprehensive, providing us with rich insights and actionable recommendations for exporters. Their specialist knowledge, expertise and connections are evident, making them a valuable resource for food, drink and beauty exporters looking to enter the UK.
Katie van den Bos, Assistant Trade and Investment Manager, Victorian Government Trade and Investment Office
HRA provided us with some really insightful feedback from consumers on our NPD concepts. With the research due to take place in retail stores just as lockdown began, HRA were flexible and agile with their approach and worked quickly and efficiently to get us the answers we needed at the time we needed them. Their debrief was accurate, concise and to the point and gave us some really actionable recommendations to work on rather than just a mass of information. The products and concepts from the research are now on sale all over the UK.
Tom Price, Head of Commercial Marketing, Nomadic Dairy Ltd
This is excellent. Lots of great content, engaging and interesting. Couple of media stars in the making…
Maria Hellyer, Consumer, F&B UK & Ireland. Sector Lead Europe, New Zealand Trade & Enterprise
Delighted with the recent research project undertaken by HRA. They took on a brief at short notice, listened well, challenged intelligently regarding the methodology and shaped the project which was then executed and delivered on time. They provided an excellent debrief and actionable insights and were a pleasure to work with.
Fiona Esom, Executive Director, Product Chain Ltd
Working with the team at HRA was a delight! Communications were easy and efficient with regular updates given along the way. The panel set up was well organised with a collaborative way of working to allow us both to get the most out of it. The level of detail provided in the results and how they were presented back was great and easy to understand. I am also excited that they are on their B-Corp certification journey and would work with the team again!

Hamish’s industry knowledge was critical in bringing this innovation to market. Hamish immediately identified the value within the product offering and tenaciously brought about its implementation. Supported by Hamish’s contacts and driven by his enthusiasm, I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again.

As a keen eyed observer of the international food and beverage industry, Hamish has brought real insight and quite often a wry sense of humour to features and articles in Dairy Innovation and Water Innovation on www.foodbev.com.

I witnessed Hamish providing a presentation to business owners/marketers on the use of Social Media in the Food & Drink industry. He was a very confident, accomplished and entertaining presenter. I can certainly recommend him as a speaker.

Not only is working with Hamish enjoyable, it is an experience that brings out the creativity in my team. He is quick, sparky and has solid experience backing up his idea creation and wise business counsel.
Tim Oakes, Managing Director, Red House Foods
Hamish recently undertook some work for us where we required an independent expert’s view. He clearly understood the brief and provided a great review of the brand concerned. His ability to summarise, what appeared to be very complex to those actively involved, was excellent.
Julie Plant, Managing Director, Emmi UK
I worked with Hamish on a recent successful breakthrough packaging project. His energy & vision create a great platform for ideas & innovation, always with a clear focus and understanding of the main consumer, market and business objectives. Hamish has the ability to translate the sometimes complex technical data into a solid business case that delivers. If your business needs results you need to talk to Hamish!
Neil Shackleton, Packaging and Print Consultant Director, SaucePM
Hamish recently chaired “Dairy NPD 2012” for me. As a Conference Producer who works with many chairman on many different subjects, I felt that Hamish did an excellent job for us. He was knowledgeable, engaging and enabled the attendees to partake in question sessions more readily. I feel that Hamish effected the quality of the experience attendees had here and would recommend him happily to others.
