Over the last four years we have worked with many public and private sector clients, including: Department for International Trade, UK; Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office; CDC Group; UKRI / Innovate UK; European Commission – Directorate-General for Trade; European Parliament; Government of Japan; and Arla Foods UK.

"Arla Foods has twice commissioned LSE Consulting's Trade Policy Hub to produce reports on the potential impact of Brexit on EU-UK trade. On both occasions the powerful insights produced gave us the opportunity to engage effectively with political stakeholders on the basis of highly credible data, helping us to be trusted with a seat at the table in discussions about the practicalities of leaving the European Union."

“CDC Group commissioned LSE Consulting's Trade Policy Hub to conduct a comprehensive evidence review on trade and supply chain finance (TSCF). The review helped us ensure that our impact framework  and investment activity is informed by rigorous evidence. We are grateful to the LSE team for constructively challenging our assumptions and helping us to improve our impact framework, enabling us to continue to enhance our impact as we continue to expand our TSCF programme in the coming years.”
