Toby Dicker, Salon Employers Association

"The report CBI Economics produced for us has been a game changer for us and our industry and the media coverage has been HUGE. The report has become people's new standard of what is happening in our industry and we could not be more grateful to the CBIE team."

Imogen Martineau, Clean Air Fund

"The CBI Economics team yet again delivered a gold-standard piece of research which will inform policymaking on air pollution for years to come. Their forensic economic analysis, combined with their world-class reputation, is invaluable in rebuffing speculation and rumour, providing policymakers the evidence they need to deliver action for clean air."

Alan Gallacher, Nexus, University of Leeds
