How we started

Gibson Research Consultancy (GRC) was set up in 2008 by Mark Gibson. Mark is a polyglot multi-disciplinarian within the health research sphere with 25 years’ experience in qualitative research methods. 

From our base in Leeds, United Kingdom, we specialise in multi-country studies. Through our strategic regulatory, linguistic and research networks we reach patients and serve clients all over the world.

With over 20 years’ experience in document design and testing, we provide patient insights and multilingual research support to help you create materials that are clear, concise and appropriate for your intended users. 

Multilingual studies with global reach

We are specialists in multi-country studies and have a global reach through our strategic regulatory, linguistic, and research networks.

GRC is known for our ability to complete projects in rarer languages (e.g. Krio, Dholuo, Twi), creole languages (e.g. French-based Creoles, Jamaican Patwa, Sranan), minority languages (e.g. Turkish for Germany, Somali for Sweden, Arabic for Turkey) and indigenous languages, such as Te Reo Māori and K’iche’.

GRC has become an important partner for us.

We initially started working with them a few years ago to work on aspects of clinical phase studies. From there, we have partnered in a number of other areas that are new streams of business for us, such as consumer health and RWE studies.
