Services

Lynne Chapman CMRS is well-known in the Qualitative Market Research industry as she has been recruiting people to attend group discussions / focus groups in Nottingham since 1984 and has recruited for over 4,500 projects. Lynne’s clients value her for her vast experience, personal approach, proactive style, positive attitude and solid reputation.
As testament to this fact, Lynne is very proud to be the UK's first MRS/AQR Accredited Recruiter, passing the exam with a Distinction.

And even prouder that, in recognition of her contribution to the Accreditation, the MRS has made her a Certified Member and a Company Partner.
Lynne achieves excellent results by recruiting motivated and enthusiastic respondents from all walks of life to fulfil your research needs in Nottingham (and parts of Derby and Leicester).
She also serves on the Committee of the ICG (Independent Consultants Group) and for the last eight years she has represented all recruiters on the MRS/AQR working party for the Recruiter Accreditation Scheme.

About

Formerly a librarian, Lynne fell accidentally into group recruitment, the role was, then as now, the world’s best-kept secret!
In 1984, at a training day run by QRS, Lynne met Marilyn; for 32 years they worked as a team recruiting groups in Nottingham. In 2016 Marilyn retired, Lynne soldiered on.
At a Fieldwork conference run by Acumen in October 2013, Julie Fuller announced her idea for a Recruiter Accreditation scheme. Lynne volunteered to become involved; this eventually was taken over by the MRS/AQR and Lynne has been on the working party ever since. She is proud that she was the first independent recruiter to take the Recruiter Accreditation,  gaining a Distinction. In recognition of her work she was made a Certified Member by the MRS.
A member of The ICG for many years, Lynne is a longstanding Committee member and runs their Knowledge Share events monthly.
Away from work Lynne loves the “Great American Songbook” and musical theatre (watching not performing!); especially the works of Stephen Sondheim. For 25 years she was the Administrator of The Stephen Sondheim Society; she is now a Trustee and is the proud owner of several pieces of manuscript that Steve created especially for her.
