Out of the Ashes of the Former Humber Cycles Factory

Talkback is a completely refurbished old factory building, historically, the home of Humber cycles, then Humber cars in Nottingham.

We have refurbished the factory, keeping the internal cast iron supports and brickwork shell, developing a state of the art focus and client viewing facility inside. The rooms where you'll be working are named Penny Farthing, Tandem and The Humber!

The large mill type windows provide a light, airy and relaxing environment. Perfect to put clients at ease, as we find that everyone has a tale to tell about their family or working past.

Flavour of Talkback

Talkback: Penny Farthing, Tandem and The Humber Studios...
For Focus Groups with adults and children, Recruitment, Moderators, Transcription, Web Streaming, Meeting Rooms, Pre Recruited Halls and Food Testing. Discussion rooms are equipped for website usability testing for up to 8 respondents and moderator, via fast broadband internet access with respondents screens relayed on to monitors for observing clients if required
