I also have a wide network of associates and service providers that I can draw on to deliver projects of all shapes and sizes.

I work with a broad range of clients with a particular focus on regulators and consumer advocacy organisations.

During my 20 years in the research industry I have turned my hand to most things, but my specialist areas are:

• Methods: Qualitative research of all types; quantitative; deliberative; co-creation; ethnographic; multiple methods
• Audiences: General public; vulnerable groups; opinion leaders and stakeholders
• Sectors: Financial services; public and third sectors; utilities; media and technology
• Purpose: Policy and strategy development; service delivery; communications; campaigning and advocacy; thought leadership

I am an experienced research practitioner with advanced skills in qualitative, quantitative and deliberative methods, and extensive experience across the private, public and third sectors. I have a genuine passion for finding out what people think and using this to provide the highest quality insights.

Throughout my career I have placed considerable onus on developing collaborative relationships with clients, many who I have had the good fortune to work with over time, and in more than one role.

Prior to setting up Collaborate Research in September 2012, I worked at a senior level for a number of leading research agencies including:
