Overview

Extensive clientside sector experience of charity, small business , research apprentice training, professional membership orgs and local gvt.

I offer quant, qual and research management

Services

Over 30 years strategic research management in charity as well as business groups, local authority and market intelligence

I love to help clients clarify their needs and give them the insights that will move them forward.

My experience includes audience segmentations, brand, marketing and comms, product and service, employee research and B2B.

This could be new quant data, or depth interviews with stakeholders or customers, another look at what they already have, and identifying what else they need.

I am always keen to work make insights usable beyond research teams - eg by operational or leadership teams

About

I live with my family in the South East, in the lovely Surrey Hills and cover a lot of the countryside and its pubs with my dog Louie-the-Spinone.

When I'm not doing research, I really enjoy freelance tutoring Market Research Executive apprentices for Swarm Training, and collaborating with their employers to get the best outcomes. I'm also an accredited workplace and community mediator and have done this for several years, mostly pro bono.

I spent 12 great years managing research for the amazing British Red Cross, a charity which changes lives. And if I had to name a couple of changes I'd personally like to see it might be improving access to employment for people with learning and other disabilities (I have been a citizen advocate) and improving the lives of people living with dementia (a personal connection).
