ICM Direct Grows Data Services Team

London-based data collection business ICM Direct has boosed its data services team with three new hires - Iulian Lincu, Kar-Hoo Lee and Vlad Stanculescu - and the promotion of Kumeshnie du Plessis to Data Services Manager.

Lincu joins from Market Probe, where he worked for a year as a Senior Programming Analyst, and previously spent a year at Research Now and four at Ipsos Interactive Services in Bucharest, Romania; while Lee joins from Research Now, where he worked as a Senior Survey Programmer. Stanculescu also worked at Ipsos Interactive Services in Romania, for five years in roles including Scriptwriter and Data Analyst / Project Manager, before a two-year stint as a Business Analyst at Romtelecom - he then moved to the UK and spent a year at Accent MR.

du Plessis worked in DP roles at Research International, Markinor and The Wire for a total of six years before joining ICM Direct in September 2007. Most recently her title was Senior DP Executive.

Director Neil Sykes comments: 'I am delighted to promote Kumeshnie after years of dedicated service. She is a natural 'take-action' person, absolutely invaluable in today's landscape of accurate and fast turnaround work. Iulian, Kar-Hoo and Vlad bring the depth of knowledge we were looking for to further develop our in-house bespoke Voice of the Customer programme offering'.
