Regional Data Laboratory

Our Regional Data Laboratory specialises in the production and development of effective Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to capture, analyse and present appropriate geographical data to inform your business.

What might that mean to you? Well, if you’re a retailer looking at a new site we can tell you the profiles of your typical customers and where you can find more of them. If you’re a developer wondering how residents use your town, we can show you. Or if you are searching for locations that meet specific environmental or demographic criteria we can help you find them.

Of course we can also do much more. Recent projects we’ve successfully completed include:

• Spatial analyses of the physical activity behaviours of inner city populations (Medical Research Council and Stoke-on-Trent Primary Care Trust).
• Spatial incidence and associated populations at risk from environmental hazards such as flood risk and air pollution (Environment Agency).
• Impacts of legislative change on risks associated with hazardous industries (Health and Safety Executive)
• Monitoring environmental change associated with the M6 toll road  (Green Arc Partnership)
• Call-out patterns for ambulance services (Staffordshire Ambulance Service)
