JRA Promotes for Joint Managing Partner Roles

In the UK, full service agency JRA Research has appointed Andy Grout and Matt Coggan as Joint Managing Partners, joining Terry Wagstaff and Paul Summers on the Board.

JRA was established in 1978 and now offers UK and international services from its headquarters in Nottingham and office in London.

Grout joined in 2009 from MMR Research Worldwide where he served as a Director. Prior to this he was Research Director at The Oxford Research Agency (TORA) and Client Service Director at Information Resources Inc (IRI).

Coggan, who also joined the firm last year, previously worked for Leeds-based research and marketing consultancy The Cog as a Project Direct. Before this he was a Divisional Director for Nunwood, and spent five years with Sadek Wynberg Millward Brown.

As part of the reshuffle, Summers steps up to become Chairman. In addition to helping lead the strategic direction of the business and overseeing marketing activities, he now also plays a role within GlobalNR - the multi-country research group which JRA represents in the UK.

'I am delighted to announce the appointment of this passionate and experienced leadership team,' Summers comments.
