Founded in 1984, RS has historically traded under two brands, RS Consulting and Consensus Research, and covers a range of sectors including technology, financial services, public sector, not-for-profit, B2B and FMCG. Baker joins from transport, planning and research specialist MVA Consulting, where he had worked as a Consultant since joining in 2008. Chris Stead, joint MD at RS Group, comments: ‘Niall has consistently demonstrated that he is a genuine market research all rounder with great experience of both qual and quant methodologies. Calm, professional and talented - he will be a great addition to the company.’ Downer joined RS Consulting in 2003 to work on multi-methodology projects, before leaving to take up the post of Research Manager at comms agency Iris. She returned to RS in 2010, since when she has worked on major public sector projects, while also managing the Investment Funds Survey at Consensus Research.
