Former PRS Board Director Launches Central Fieldwork

In the UK, former Perspective Research Services (PRS) Board Director Gemma Langstone has launched a new company called Central Fieldwork.

Langstone (pictured) spent nearly a decade at BDRC-owned data collection agency Perspective Research Services, most recently as Director of Qualitative Services. Earlier, she worked for BDRC's Continental Research as Qualitative Manager, having begun her career at Research Works as Senior Field Controller.

Her new company, Central Fieldwork, will offer specialist qualitative recruitment services to research and UX agencies, as well as to end-clients in the consumer, B2B, healthcare and automotive sectors. She will also provide support services such as incentive management, venue hire, viewing studios and online focus group and community software. Her launch team includes former Bloom Research RE Rob Secchi, who joins as Senior Project Executive, and Fieldwork Manager Elisa Pinon, who previously worked for McDowall Media as Operations Director.

Commenting on the launch, Langstone said: 'This is an exciting opportunity to lead a new team and develop a strong client service ethos at Central Fieldwork. We have exciting growth plans, to extend operations into more sectors and across Europe. It's a terrific time to start. I'm really looking forward to growing the business'.
