"Black Kite conducted an economic analysis of NBIC, covering its first five years of operation. I am very pleased with the final report; it is impactful and has been well receievd by the NBIC Non-Executive Board. There was great communication and discussion throughout the project, and a positive working relationship. I trust Black Kite to deliver in a professional manner and have no hesitation in recommending them."

"Short of doing it for me, I could not have been happier. I could not have got to the end product without Black Kite; the support was invaluable. I really appreciated the weekend / late night replies, and the level of support offered when needed. I feel like I became more confident in the project, how to talk about it, and the business model. That is a direct result of doing the application, and of BK guiding me and drawing the information out. I could not have submitted the application to the standard I did without BK; defintely use them again."

"Black Kite were very effective at project management across several large projects and we would certainly consider using them again when we return to Research & Development."

"I was happy with the work Black Kite did for me, and I would hire them again. Commercial-level communication skills and market awareness combined with their high-quality background in physical science and engineering made for a productive partnership. Black Kite’s position, sitting square between the technical and commercial worlds, is uniquely strong within the knowledge transfer industry."

"Black Kite undertook a small consultancy project on a novel antenna design developed at Queen Mary University. It was unclear how this technology could fit market needs. At short notice, Black Kite prepared a professional proposal, clearly outlining the work to be done and how the project was to be conducted. They started with primary research, interviewing key potential clients and collaborators, and presented a well-argued report within our schedule, which was important in securing further internal funding for continued development. The study results informed the product development and market areas to pursue. More importantly, they introduced us to Satellite Services (now SBBV) who have since funded further development of the antenna for space flight."

"We would have no hesitation in working with Black Kite again either on an innovative and technically challenging project as a project manager or as someone to help us exploit our developments and grow our business."

"Deepak's involvement was highly beneficial; it was the first such project within our organisation that was delivered close to the original plan, including time and budget. We would be happy to use Deepak and Black Kite again, not just as a valued consultant but as a member of our project team, for future technically challenging projects and especially those that are important or crucial for our business growth."

"Clear and concise feedback delivered very flexibly to accommodate our needs. Would definitely use Black Kite again and have no hesitation in recommending them to others."

"Organised approach, got feedback times in the diary early. Really took your time to talk me through the edits, suggestions and made time when needed."

"Your insight into the mindset of Innovate UK and bid writing generally was v useful – this helped me better understand what the assessors were looking for."
