Client Success Stories
The Bord Bia Library team are a huge support to the Valeo Foods Insights team as we scope out new innovation opportunities and seek to understand consumer behaviour in greater depth. The team are helpful and efficient and I would recommend all client companies to engage with them to further their understanding of the market and the consumer. The Bord Bia Library is a wonderful asset to have available to us.
Bord Bia’s Library Team are world class and second to none! I am a regular user, and tap into their service to compliment Kerry’s proprietary research and our own data partners. They have a wealth of knowledge and credible data, which saves me and my colleagues time and supports better business decision making.
Innovation is only effective if products and services address a customer/ market need or problem. All innovation and new product development must therefore be driven by credible and relevant consumer and market insights. The Bord Bia Library Team is on hand to provide exactly that! The team is extremely efficient and helpful and a visit to the Library provides a great opportunity to delve further into the detail. It is an excellent support service to the Irish food and drink industry.
