Equity matters. To individuals. To society. To the bottom line.

But it remains elusive.

Versiti’s team equips leaders with the evidence and insights they need to grow inclusively, opening up new opportunities.

“There could hardly be a more pressing time to understand how inequalities arise, which ones matter, why they matter and how they should be addressed.”

Institute of Fiscal Studies (IFS), 2023

Who we’ve worked with

  • "Versiti shone through as the obvious choice for us, bringing a strong academic understanding of the complicated world of diversity together with the practical means of delivering appropriate research, something which we found to be unique - seriously unique."

    Steve Hill, Jaguar Land Rover

  • "This work forced us to look at things differently. It led to a major strategic change which we can attribute directly to the insights from Versiti’s research. [...] We could not have anticipated this breadth of actionable insights nor asked for a greater impact from a single piece of work."

    Hilary Ingleton, RNIB

  • "Versiti have helped us to pinpoint core issues to address in our organisational culture. They have helped to get senior management on board with proposed changes. Their passion and unparalleled expertise have proven invaluable when dealing with sensitive and complicated topics. The CEO and senior leadership team have been very impressed and are now really galvanised. Versiti are a real pleasure and privilege to work with and we keep coming back for more."

    Subhani Rawat, MSL Group (Publicis)

  • "Working with the team was a refreshing and eye-opening experience. We learned a significant amount about our audiences, insights which spoke to powerful emotions which we could help with [...] Their insights helped us launch our most exciting products ever. We went on to win several internal and external innovation awards, including the Award for Innovation in Fundraising by the Chartered Institute of Fundraising."

    Anand Modha, UNICEF

  • "Dr. Gervais’s expertise in relation to ethnic minority communities and her skills as a qualitative researcher are among the best in the industry. The report she wrote on ‘The Drivers of Black and Asian People’s Perceptions of Racial Discrimination’ has been key to inform policy and meet governmental targets. We have also used the report to train the Government Social Research Profession."

    Stella Yarrow, Department for Communities and Local Government

  • "By now, we have very high expectations of Versiti and they never disappoint. Their expertise around minority audiences allows them to deliver outstanding research. They bring rich contextual knowledge to make sense of the evidence. Their work adds huge value and drives impact across Channel 4. A brilliant team to work with."

    Ben Marsden, Channel 4

  • "What an outstanding report. Thank you. It makes tough reading but is a massive milestone on our journey. I feel hugely indebted to you."

    Jan Gooding, President of Market Research Society

  • "Versiti led us through a critical time in our strategic review process. We needed support to embed DI&E into our future strategy and Versiti helped us to become more aware of where we were in our DI&E journey and where we wanted to get to. As a result, we were able to shape our future vision and brought the leadership team along on the journey."
