what you say about Evolved

"Working with Racheal and the Evolved Research and Consulting team, was an incredible opportunity to bring our arts based research methods to a marine context. Racheal’s curiosity and openness towards non-scientific methods, together with her expertise and rigour in researching the marine environment led to an innovative research paper that we are all proud of. We would highly recommend Evolved Research and Consulting to anyone looking to expand approaches to Marine research."

Lisa Meaney @ Wildpear CIC

"I had the pleasure of working with ERC, they kept us informed at every stage of the project, ensuring that we were always up to date with the latest developments. Their meticulous planning was evident from the start, allowing us to anticipate potential challenges and their persistence in overcoming obstacles and finding solutions was very impressive. I can recommend ERC for their great communication, thorough planning, and commitment to our project goals."
