“Pagoda has been invaluable in helping us to understand how best to work with the Scottish Government and the media in Scotland. We have found Pagoda's team extremely effective in monitoring not just the Parliament and the Government but also the broader political and media environment - highlighting both risks and potential opportunities. Their guidance has been timely and accurate, and their understanding of our needs and sensitivities has been a true strength.
"Pagoda’s excellent service also extended to the support they have given to the Bid in the North of England and Northern Ireland. Most importantly we have been able to rely on Pagoda getting things done. We have always been impressed by their energy and commitment to deliver.”
Dr Alan McDougall
Medical Director, Novo Nordisk Limited
“Novo Nordisk has worked with Pagoda since 2003, retained by us to provide monitoring of relevant topics in the Scottish Parliament….these reports are of the highest quality and have been extremely helpful to the company in keeping abreast of health policy in Scotland. Even more outstanding however and worthy of particular comment, is the skilful way which Pagoda has facilitated meetings with MSPs … their excellent relationships with the Parliament was beyond anything I have previously experienced. The result of Pagoda’s extensive and close networking is that they are very much in touch with the evolution of policy in the Scottish Government. Another key strength is their ability to deliver on time.”
