“At the Drapers Fashion Summit, October 2005 in London, speakers were rated from 1-4, with 1 as poor and 4 as excellent. GDR's scores were: Content: 3.4 and Presentation: 3.7”

“Seeing design excellence across diverse disciplines is invaluable. Whether it's creative, commercial or 'blue sky design' - we always find GDR’s presentation inspirational, thought provoking and commercially relevant to our ongoing design strategy.”

GDR supports UK Universities
GDR recently sent out a number of Global Innovation Reports to Universities around the UK, including Bournemouth University, Chelsea College of Art & Design, University of East London and University of Hull. The institutions will be making the reports available in their libraries for students to browse.
Course Director Lorna Bircham at Chelsea College of Art & Design commented: "This would be a valuable resource in particular to those tracking the historical and actual in trend predictions. Thank you for thinking of us!"
GDR hopes to continue sending out reports to Universities at regular intervals, as part of it's 'doing well by doing good' ethic.
