Recent Interview
Emily Riley, our Digital Marketing Executive recently sat down with Tony over a cup of coffee to better understand what makes him tick. The first question she asked was...
"So what attracted you to a career in Market Research?"
"Well, I like to think that I fell into research because I knew how to use a computer at a time when no one else did. But in all honesty, it was probably decided much before that when I used to go along and watch my mum conduct interviews and help organise research studies 10-15 years earlier… Thanks Mum!"

Away from work
When not at work or listening to podcasts whilst driving to his next meeting or Focus Group, Tony can often be found walking around the UK, from Cornwall to the Lake District fells with his family, playing golf, reading marketing books or watching films.
Tony likes to remain active, and later this year he will be taking part with the team walking up Snowdon. The walk is for cancer charity and the terminally ill on behalf of Marie Curie so feel free to donate here.
So when Tony has a bit of free time, here are some more things that interest him outside the office!
