Client Testimonials
We recently worked with Naomi and Gina, who evaluated a community grass roots project we were delivering in Bridgwater, Somerset. The project aimed to bring experts by experience affected by COPD together to champion and support the wellbeing of others living with the disease. Volunteer community coordinators were recruited and supported to listen to experiences, provide information about support and wellbeing services and influence services and decisions makers by sharing feedback at a strategic level. Naomi and Gina supported the project by carrying out an independent evaluation of the project to highlight the impact of the projects approach. Their professional approach included speaking to participants at focus groups and sing2breathe sessions and interviewing key stakeholders. They delivered the evaluation in a timely and proactive way, were flexible and got ‘stuck in’ at the sessions. Their final report with recommendation has been welcomed by those who took part in the project as well as system leader. I would highly recommend the service and hope to work with Naomi again in the future.
Lucie Woodruff, Evolving Communities
It has been a real pleasure working with Naomi, Seb, and Anneliese. We have really appreciated all of their hard work and dedication to the project.
Ropinder Gill, CEO of Lymphoma Action
We worked with Naomi recently delivering a substantial report around engaging communities and ensuring our services are inclusive and accessible. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Naomi on the project: she was always professional, committed to understanding the issues and the context, and delivered a very high standard of work. The work really helped us to develop a deeper understanding of the issues: with thorough work in the literature and data, plus community engagement insights. Naomi communicated brilliantly with all levels of the organisation whilst exploring the current context and also in delivering the final report and recommendations. She was flexible and considered in her approach and this helped us to shape the project to reach the desired outcomes.
Sarah Weston – Head of Services and Support, Bowel Cancer UK
I would highly recommend Naomi. On a professional level, she has been brilliant at pinpointing the areas that we need to evaluate whilst ensuring the process is not too difficult for our service users. On a personal level, Naomi is kind, helpful empathic person who would be an asset to any team or project.
Hannah Ashford, Managing Director of Early Nourishment CIC
Dr. Naomi Tyrrell is a highly skilled and professional researcher who has worked with Justice Studio on a growing number of projects and research studies. Her expertise and strategic guidance in ensuring our work surfaces the insights and evidence our clients need to better understand or develop their services has been invaluable. From public health related services delivered during the pandemic to wider analyses to shape the design of public services, having Naomi on board has been a gift and a pleasure.
Abigail Bulley, Justice Studio
I have worked with Naomi for many years on research and I have found her to be a very professional and dedicated researcher and project manager, who cares deeply about the participants in any project. Her research and writing skills are excellent and she can make project findings accessible to multiple audiences, from policy makers to practitioners, general public and the media, families and young people. I am confident Naomi will deliver any project at the the highest quality.
Professor Daniela Sime, University of Strathclyde
I attended a training course with Naomi through my institution on the topic of knowledge exchange and I can safely say it was one of the best sessions on this topic I have attended. Naomi’s expertise in this area is phenomenal and her delivery of the content was engaging and easy to follow. Naomi was friendly, open and showed interest in all participants stories and I know I was not the only participant to leave feeling inspired. Highly recommend working with Naomi.
Workshop Participant
'I just wanted to say thank you so much. It’s a really great piece of work, with helpful guidance as to steps we could take in the future. We love the infographics too. Very much appreciated!'
David Cook, WCVA
Despite the challenges surrounding the project Anneliese and Naomi very quickly got up to speed with what we wanted from the evaluation and were both easy to work with and bought a lot of experience to the project.
We were delighted with the reports and guidance that they both provided and have been able to adopt a number of the recommendations in our current practice. Thank you for your support.

Working with Naomi of Research Your Way has been an absolute pleasure. Her expertise and professionalism were evident in her evaluation of the British Art Show 9, which included running a thoughtful and informative workshop with stakeholders, and her captivating talk and Q&A on AI for Research and Knowledge Exchange during our Faculty's Lunchtime Learning sessions. Naomi's thoroughness, responsiveness, and excellent communication skills have made working together both enjoyable and productive. Her ability to incorporate feedback and tailor her approach to our needs has been invaluable. I wholeheartedly recommend Naomi and Research Your Way to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, reliable, and engaging consultant.
Rupert Lorraine, Director of The Arts Institute, University of Plymouth
At the University of Salford we are very excited to work with Research Your Way. Naomi’s Alt-Ac Career sessions are sensitive and uplifting and help our researchers understand the plethora of options open to them. Her advice on networking and using Linked In has proved invaluable to our PGR students and ECRs.
Dr Stephen Ling
From the very first call with Naomi it was clear that she has a passion for what she does, and a really great way of understanding the organisations she is working with. For us, we were seeking an independent review as we came to the end of some long-term funding, but we were also in a period of change in our organisation. Talking to Naomi felt incredibly easy and we instantly felt like she understood our values and what we were fighting for. She created a unique framework based on what we do and she implemented it wonderfully. We're very happy with Naomi's work and will definitely be coming back in the future for our next evaluation. Thanks so much Naomi!
Amy, Elle & Sarah, Greater Manchester Douglas CIC
Naomi and her team at Research your way provided a personal yet professional service. They listened to our needs and provided guidance on the best ways to achieve what we needed. Naomi was always supportive and responsive to queries as the project progressed and delivered high quality results. I would recommend Research Your Way and would work with them again in the future.
