Fiona Tuck

Director

Fiona is an experienced economic development consultant and research practitioner. She is highly skilled in designing methodologies and tools to elicit hard-to-reach information and has a wealth of experience in planning and executing quantitative and qualitative research. A key strength is moving forward evidence generated through programmes of research to provide the interpretation and understanding that underpins policy and strategy formation.

Fiona leads our work on sectors, clusters and skills and has undertaken numerous studies exploring the current position and future potential of sectors and professions, incorporating sectoral and spatial assessments, identification of development priorities and local, sectoral or cluster strategies and action plans. With a strong background in delivering robust, detailed analysis of economies at a local, sub-national and national level, she is an advocate for maximising the potential of secondary data to underpin the narrative of a place or sector’s performance and inform the case for intervention.  

Fiona works across all stages of intervention design, development and review, from baseline analysis and demand assessments, to concept and feasibility testing through to performance monitoring and impact analysis, providing insight into operational and strategic effectiveness to shape future delivery.

Fiona is currently a member of the Advisory Board for Worcestershire Local Skills Improvement Plan.
