MTM Consulting – market research, analysis and strategies for success in the business of education
We at MTM Consulting are experts in education market research, analysis and real-world recommendations, which are focused on driving organisations further.
For more than 35 years, MTM Consulting has supported schools (state and independent), universities and other education providers to remain in business and to develop and thrive, whatever the economic climate. We provide solid data, insightful analysis and clear recommendations to enable organisations to plan for future stability and success and to uphold their responsibilities to parents who entrust them with their children’s education.
In fact, we’ve worked with more than 500 schools and researched more than 250,000 parents. Our feasibility studies, supply and demand analyses and stakeholder research projects are all designed to help school business leaders to understand the potential of their organisation’s market, where they stand against their competitors, what the market wants and what it does not want, and equip them with the information they need to make the right decisions going forward.
We can tell you…
…and much more!
MTM has access to UK-wide demographic data, the skills to analyse it, and a wealth of industry specific experience. This enables us to make recommendations that will show you how your organisation can capitalise on its potential.

What our client schools say about MTM

‘Working with MTM, a most professional organisation, has been both affirming and illuminating. They knew exactly what we sought, were delightful people with whom to work and provided us with their research within a clear, interactive format within the promised timescale. On the basis of their initial work on our behalf, we have extended their remit with an additional project and continue to be the beneficiary of their expertise. I wholeheartedly recommend MTM.’

‘I am hugely impressed with the manner in which MTM have handled our data and their Director of Research, James Leggett, has been extremely good at distilling the pertinent facts and presenting them to the school in an easy to understand and display format. I cannot recommend them more highly for their outstanding service provision to the school this year.’

‘The insights provided by MTM have been invaluable to the continued success of Banstead. Whilst the raw data is extremely detailed, it has been presented in a way that is concise and easy to understand, enabling us to create an admissions and marketing plan that is strategic and targeted, helping us build our brand and our school.’

‘It is vital to be informed about the demographic trends in our area. In a fast-growing school it is invaluable to know when and where the demand will come to ensure we are ready, with space, to service it. The work by James and the team at MTM will inform our marketing campaigns in the years to come. I thoroughly recommend MTM’s services.’
