“Advocacy Answers New Zealand produced a comprehensive sustainable income strategy for the Gillies McIndoe Research Institute (GMRI). They took the time to gain a full understanding of our complex scientific work and the challenges we face. They produced an excellent report and we appreciate the effort taken and the understanding we gained. The strategy was intellectually robust and has challenged our thinking. It will provide a roadmap to take the GMRI into the future.”
