Leeds Appointment and London Office for Boxclever

Leeds, UK-based full service agency Boxclever has opened an office in London; and has appointed former Relish exec Rebecca Huntley as Qualitative Director, based in Leeds. Also joining in Leeds, in the Quant team are Lauren Hall and Chrissie Tarbotton.

Founded in 2010 by former Nunwood execs Kathryn Boxall, Sam Gardner and Claire Boorman, the firm's specialist areas include proposition development and pricing, brand strategy, customer experience, segmentation and marketing effectiveness. Explaining the reasons behind the London launch, Boxall said: 'Our client base has increased substantially across a number of sectors, both locally and internationally and we recognise the advantage a London base gives us. It's definitely the right time for us to invest in boosting the team further to continue to deliver for our clients and also give our team exciting new challenges'.

Back in the Leeds office, Huntley (pictured) joins with more than fifteen years' experience. Most recently, she was Head of Qualitative Research at London-based brand specialist Relish Research (formerly Drummond Madell), which she joined in 2007 as Research Manager. She began her career at Nunwood as a Research Executive, before working at Brahm as an SRE. Commenting on the appointment, Boorman said: 'Rebecca brings a wealth of FMCG experience to the team as well as a strong heritage in digging deep into human motivations. We know our senior-led model resonates strongly with clients and will continue with our investment in a high calibre, commercial team who can extract more value out of the wealth of insight we generate'.

Hall previously served as Research Manager at Join the Dots, SRE at MMR Research Worldwide, and Research Manager at Maru/edr. Tarbotton joins from NPD Travel Retail (formerly Counter Intelligence Retail), where she served as Junior Research Manager, before which she was an RE at Impact Research. Both will manage and support a number of major accounts.
