Little Forest helped us shape and establish a robust programme of continuous improvement. We’ve even been told that our work in collecting third-party system accessibility statements is sector-leading, and we’d never have done it without Little Forest.

Little Forest are my go-to technical advisors. I trust them implicitly and have enjoyed working with them enormously. The team is motivated, bright, and incredibly capable. Just when I think something is impossible, they manage to find a way of making it work. How they do that is something I will never understand!

The reports make it easy and fun to benchmark the status of content quality across the sites. This is used in our monthly status meetings to discuss tasks that should be solved for the next meeting. Not only do Little Forest integrate several content quality tools in one solution. They are very open to suggestions for improvements and new features to the tool.
