Building something bigger together
Navigator launched in 2026 uniting three successful agencies, each bringing a different set of specialisms which combine to form a powerhouse of expertise and talent under one roof.
Our evolution
From firm foundations, change brings energy and the opportunity to view things differently.
Blue Marble brought rigorous social research credentials and deep policy expertise. Pye Tait contributed evaluation excellence and sector specialisms spanning education to environment. Qa Research added robust data collection capabilities and technical know-how.
Together, they represent 75+ years of combined heritage. Over 40 research experts. Trusted relationships with government departments, regulators, utilities and third-sector organisations. Most importantly, a shared commitment to research quality and societal impact.
