Field and Data Services

Since joining DJS Research, Matt has focused on the development of the operations division, exponentially increasing service levels and the technology that currently underpins the research business. Operations now boasts dedicated research project managers, a large state of the art CATI unit (55+ Stations), 1000+ UK-based face to face market research field team, a dedicated qualitative recruitment team and a technical data capture / analysis team. As a result of this development, the Operations department has grown to be able to offer a standalone service to both end clients and agencies.

Matt knows the operational process of delivering field and tab projects to clients inside and out and, along with his project managers, has personal oversight of all projects for direct clients. As the Operations Director for the full-service side of DJS Research, Matt leads on much of the company policy documentation and is the Quality Manager responsible for the regulation of all company project work.
