LinkedInWhat's in a name?
In the 19th Century, British cities were undergoing a huge transformation through the first Industrial Revolution. There was an urgent need for higher levels of education, not in the classics, but in engineering, science, technology and medicine, to support the new economy. Out of this need the Red Brick universities were born.
Now we are again on the cusp of a new Fourth Industrial Revolution. Once again there are new challenges in AI, automation, human augmentation, education, health and digital communication. Higher levels of insight and skill will once again be required to support this new economy.
In the 19th Century great state institutions of learning were the solution. In the 21st Century we believe private enterprise and collaboration can play a part. We are proud to carry the Red Brick name as a badge of honour and a statement of purpose.
Our team
It may be a cliché to say that our people are our biggest asset, but it's also true.
From our most seasoned consultant to our most junior exec., our focus is on promoting a positive team culture and a strong ethos of collaboration, professional pride and client empathy.
Our clients rely not only on our skills as researchers, but on our ability to understand their business context quickly, and deliver strategic insight and recommendations that are relevant and genuinely powerful.
Talent seeking
We seek out and actively recruit the most interesting, culturally engaged and open-minded individuals to join our team.
The nature of our work means that raw brain power is an absolute pre-requisite so we often target top universities, but the capacity for empathy and human insight is what often identifies a potential superstar.
Great research requires a real mix of skills and so we frequently recruit from engineering, legal and humanities backgrounds, as well as the social and statistical sciences.
I've never worked in such a supportive environment before... my ideas can actually make a difference and I learn so much every day.
Passions
The range of interests, hobbies and passions within our team means there's always a quirky local event to sponsor, or a fun run to get involved in.
As a company we have a long-term commitment to Tree of Hope, a charity based in our home town of Tunbridge Wells, that works to support families of sick children in the UK and Ireland who need specialist medical surgery, treatment, therapy and equipment.
You can find out more about the work of this very special charity by visiting the Tree of Hope website.
