TESTIMONIALS

Luto Tutors

The Crayfish team has been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable in guiding us and I can’t thank the team enough for their efforts. If you’re looking for support in Asian markets, I can’t recommend Crayfish highly enough!

Polyvision

Crayfish provided an excellent service in helping provide Polyvision with objective, third party data on the Chinese e-commerce sector. This has been paramount in allowing us to make sound, strategic business decisions. We would highly recommend Jane and her team and would employ their services again.

Steer

After some research and comparison, I decided to entrust STEER’s China activities to Crayfish. In just three months, we have made so much progress, including an unexpectedly fulfilling trip to China. We now have a clear, effective China strategy and I’m already planning my next trip to China!

ATDI

Crayfish team provided support from the outset, answering our queries, and providing an excellent workspace to liaise with the development team. Setting up a website in China was unknown territory for us and they provided all the necessary support, information, and advice throughout. Their standardised services allowed us to manage our budget effectively. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Crayfish for anyone looking to develop business in the Far East.

Dasic Marines

The service I have received from Crayfish has been excellent, from the very first meeting the process has been easy and trouble free. The level of detail in the desk research report far exceeded my expectations, I am very satisfied and would use them for all future requirements. Thank you to Crayfish and its experts for all your efforts and assistance!

Cambridge Mechatronics

Crayfish.io have been invaluable in their management of our China projects. Their team had gone above and beyond for CML and they are always available with a solution. There have been so many moving parts during the process and there is no way we could have done it without Crayfish.io. I would happily recommend them to anyone looking to establish a presence in China.

Love Wellness Company

To some SMEs, developing business in China is an entrepreneur’s dream. But Crayfish.io made it very possible by demystifying the stories around doing business with the Chinese and creating strategies for cultural understanding and entry into one of the largest markets in the world. Their one-to-one customised service gave us the best the team had to offer. We can’t recommend them enough and are confident to expand in China because we know we have Crayfish.io as our partners.

Adder Technology

Recruiting talent in China is far from straightforward for an SME like us. Without Crayfish, we wouldn’t have been able to complete this hiring so smoothly and quickly from our UK based HR team. We are fortunate that we have got a really good local employee team and we put that largely down to the support and advice over the years we received from Crayfish.io and especially Ting Zhang.
