I have been (gainfully) employed market research since 1993 when I joined MAI research, which latterly became NOP, and subsequently morphed into a number of other companies.  I initially started at the company as a telephone interviewer, moving on to become a supervisor, and then telephone centre manager.   I subsequently moved with the company from telephone centre to their large and hectic data processing department where I progressed to account manager. 

In 2001 I left NOP to set up IFTS a company offering a full spectre of data collection and processing services, largely focussing on data entry, coding and tabulations, but also providing CATI scripting services for larger agencies when they needed extra capacity and onsite consultant support. With a small team of experienced interviewers the company has also been able to offer in house CATI interviewing.

As the years have moved on, and market research has evolved online scripting and hosting have also been added to the portfolio of services.
