Consumer Intelligence is a Bristol-based financial services insight partner that thrives on its purpose: “Building confidence in financial services”.

Over the past 20 years, the company has been benchmarking the insurance market and retail banks in the UK and beyond. By focusing on its core values: Be Credible, Be Reliable, Be Innovative, Be Connected and Win Together, it has helped major brands enhance their business performance.

Consumer Intelligence operates an 'outcome only working' environment, promoting a work-life balance and focusing on the impact of their work. The company prides itself on its unique culture, with employees often citing ‘the people’ as the best aspect of their job.

Clear communication is facilitated through monthly town hall meetings, a weekly e-newsletter, SharePoint, and Teams. The company utilises a cascading goals approach via Objectives and Key Results, ensuring alignment across departments and individuals. The company fosters understanding by consistently sharing market conditions, industry trends, and competitor analysis.

Its leadership is committed to transparency in decision-making processes, enhancing organisational clarity and trust. Consumer Intelligence ensures that employees have access to essential resources for effective job performance. Its values are not just spoken about, but lived and demonstrated through actions, behaviours and decision-making processes. It recognises those who exemplify these values through a 'high five' initiative, celebrating the winners at monthly Town Hall meetings.

Consumer Intelligence is a company where values are lived, people are valued, and confidence in financial services is built every day.
