London-based insight consultancy BritainThinks has hired Tom Clarkson (pictured) as an Associate Director.

He joins from ComRes, where he led the Corporate Research Team and specialised in exploring complex financial services policy issues with the general public. His experience includes research on pensions reform, PPI mis-selling and competition within the UK retail banking sector, for a range of public and private sector clients.

Partner Deborah Mattinson says of the hire: 'We are delighted to welcome Tom to BritainThinks. His expertise and experience will be valuable additions to our team'.

Formed in 2010 by Opinion Leader co-founders Deborah Mattinson and Viki Cooke and their former colleague Ben Shimshon, BritainThinks offers strategic advice for political, corporate and not-for-profit clients, while its WorldThinks international division has a specific focus on reputation research. The three original partners were joined in May this year by a fourth, Spencer Livermore.
