L&E Acquires Consumer Center in New York

In the US, focus group facilities and recruiting services company L&E Research has expanded with the acquisition of the midtown Manhattan office of Consumer Center.

Raleigh, North Carolina-based L&E recently acquired Denver, Colorado company INGATHER Research & Sensory and discussion venues from Q & A Research, in Kansas City, Missouri and Walnut Creek (East Bay), California. It also opened an office in Austin, Texas last year.

The new addition extends L&E's presence in the northeast area of the US. Company President Brett Watkins (pictured) comments: 'This new location gives us the opportunity to provide clients with qualitative research solutions in a primary market in addition to our eleven other locations covering almost all regions in the United States. We are excited to add the impressive New York Consumer Center team to our rapidly growing network of qualitative research solutions'.
