Long-time NatCen Exec Caroline Turley Joins BMG

In the UK, full service agency BMG Research has appointed long-time NatCen exec Caroline Turley as Client Leadership Director.

Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Birmingham, BMG delivers market and employee research, customer insights and public perception surveys to both public and private sector clients. Last year the firm opened an office in the London Bridge-based News UK Building, having closed its previous London base during the pandemic.

Turley (pictured) joins in London after fifteen years at the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), where she spent a decade leading the firm's Crime & Justice team. During this time she developed expertise in qual research and evaluation with prisoners, victims/survivors of crime, young people at risk of harm such as grooming, radicalisation and criminal exploitation; and on wider topics such as bereavement and mental health. Before joining NatCen in 2007, Turley carried out qual research at the Police Complaints Authority and BMRB Social Research.
In her new role, Turley's focus will be on expanding BMG's qual portfolio into new policy areas. Simon Wood, Head of Research, comments: 'Caroline is one of social research's leading experts with a reputation for high quality, actionable research that makes an actual difference to her clients and wider society. We've seen the business grow dramatically in the past couple of years and it's given us the platform to bring in people of the highest calibre and expand our offer and capabilities'.
