As founder of Collaborate Research, I continue lead all of our projects and work with a network of senior associates and specialist suppliers to deliver larger assignments.

We pride ourselves on providing robust and insightful evidence that helps the organisations we work with to make better decisions.
About
I am seasoned social and market research practitioner whose 30 years of experience spans a wide range of methods, audiences and contexts. I started my started my career in Australia and recently returned there after working at a senior level in the UK for more than 20 years.
For the past 12 years, I have my own successful agency, providing policy-focused research and consultancy services to public sector and not-for-profit organisations. Previously, I worked at Director level for a number of leading research houses, both in the UK and Australia.
I have specialist skills in deliberative research, engaging hard-to-reach and vulnerable audiences, and applying behavioural economics learning to research. Much of my recent work has focused on regulated markets such as energy, financial services and communications. However, I also have experience across a number of additional policy areas including health and social care, work and welfare, and transport and housing.
