FDS International, the UK full service market research agency, has strengthened its research and technology teams to support its growing client base. Dominique Demaine, Senior Research Executive, and Sarah Gilbert, Research Executive, have joined FDS from Synovate and Gfk NOP’s Social Research Team respectively.

Sarah has an MSc in Criminology and a first degree in Sociology. She has recent experience in a variety of public sector research projects.

FDS has also appointed Eva Bhandari to its technology team in London as an additional database and scriptwriting resource. She has just completed an MSc in mobile computing and will support the development of surveys using other technologies in the future.

Charlotte Cornish, Managing Director of FDS International, said: “We have been extremely successful in gaining new research projects in recent months from a host of leading organisations and establishments, including the COI, the National Audit Office, Ofgem, Cambridge County Council, Serco, In Technology, First Rate Exchange Services and the RSPB. In growing our team to support our expansion, we are purposefully seeking high calibre people that complement our existing team in the UK, have proven experience with other large research organisations and bring new skill sets into our business.”
