About

Helping you to make better decisions based on robust research, reliable evidence, and a clear rationale.

At Wavehill we provide you with impartial social and economic research, analysis, and evaluation.

We work with a wide range of organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors, with small community groups, and across all levels of government in the UK.

We help you to navigate the changing policy and funding landscape across the UK.

Our collaborative approach enables you to make better, more timely and well-informed decisions to maximum the value and achieve the best outcome for your strategy, project, programme, or policy.

Established in 1992, Wavehill acquired Consilium Research and Consultancy in 2018 to expand our presence in North East England and then Scottish based research company Hall Aitken in 2026.

Our values guide how we do business

Employee-owned

In 2020, Wavehill became an employee-owned company. This allowed our staff to articulate what matters most to them, shape our organisation and benefit more from its success.

Values-led

The process of becoming employee-owned enabled us to explicitly embed our values as a company. It is an essential driver for how we conduct ourselves as a business as well as guiding the work we undertake.

Responsible

We are committed to improving our social value, reducing our environmental impact, and strengthening equity, diversity and inclusion in our work and workplace.

Our values guide the way we run our company, work with our staff and with you. We are your trusted partner.

We work to high quality standards and have developed checks and balances to ensure our work meets and exceeds industry expectations and standards.
