MRS Appoints Steering Group for Northern Ireland

The Market Research Society (MRS) has a new regional network in Northern Ireland, and has selected a steering group to help support, promote, and protect market and social research across the country.

The group is led by Chairperson Albert Hamilton (pictured), who is CEO and founder of Belfast-based retail research agency CARD Group, and who helped drive the initiative. He is supported by Vice Chairperson Ruth Flood, MD of RF Associates, and Secretary Angie Martin, Marketing Manager of CARD Group. This team will be tasked with helping the network host regular educational events for both researchers and client-side companies.

Commenting on the launch, Hamilton said: 'The talent and innovation in market research from Northern Ireland is immense. With our new combined voice, we will enhance our reputation and nurture new members'.

The Market Research Society NI LinkedIn group ( www.linkedin.com/groups/8479472/profile ) is open to both members and non-members of the MRS.
