CATI Interviewing Team

Michelle Flanagan | Operations Manager

Michelle started her career off in the education sector and has worked hard to head up the CATI department taking on the role of Operations Manager for CATI Services. Previously, Michelle worked as a Telephone Interviewer in 2013, and was soon promoted to Team Leader and later, Projects Team Leader which makes her an obvious choice to head up the department.

Michelle is responsible for the majority of the goings-on in the CATI Telephone Unit and has helped renew and advance the current procedures and programs that are in use today.   

Nathan Alsop  | Senior CATI Executive

Nathan joined DJS Research in November 2017 as a Telephone Interviewer. After finishing his A levels he was unsure of which direction to move in, just knowing that he wanted to work with people.

He began working at DJS Research and quickly realised his passion for B2B interviewing and market research. He made a quick leap from short NPS interviews to in-depth specialized interviews, often working alone and managing his own sample and completes.

Nathan has a natural ability to communicate and relate across the whole company, which made him an obvious choice to move up and lead his own B2B team. 

In 2021, he was promoted to Senior CATI Executive.

Dan Everett | Team Leader

Dan joined DJS Research back in 2017 as a Consumer Telephone Interviewer during an exciting time as DJS Research had just opened the Leeds office. Dan joined us from another market research agency where his main role was to team lead. Given his relationship with the Leeds team already and his previous experience, he was an obvious choice to move up and lead the Leeds team. He is now responsible for a large team of remote interviewers and is a driving force in helping them get up and running from home.

Mark Batty | Team Leader

Mark joined DJS Research as a Telephone Interviewer in October 2020. His passion, ability and commitment to the role soon saw him promoted to Team Leader where his natural ability at helping the whole team has flourished.

Neil Shaw | Team Leader

Neil has worked in Market Research since 1997, beginning in the role of Telephone Interviewer at Business and Market Research, and then progressing to Evening Manager for the Harris Interactive Telephone Unit (2003-2011), and latterly Peak Answers (2011-2020).

Danielle Taylor | Team Leader

Danielle joined DJS Research in 2018 initially as a Telephone Interviewer, working on social research projects, covering topics such as health, wellbeing, and community safety. Danielle has also worked on other research projects, in fields such as engineering, energy, and water.

Danielle studied for the NVQ Level 2 in Team Leading, where she has developed her understanding of business, communication and personal development.

In 2022, Danielle became a Team Leader in our in-house Telephone unit, supporting and training new recruits to work on our social research projects, which has contributed to an increase in performance and retention.

Quality and Compliance team:

Kerry Boother 

Kerry has five years of experience in market research. She started working for Watermelon Research in 2016, expecting it to be on just a short-term basis alongside raising a family, however, Kerry realised she thrived in a fast-paced call centre and has never looked back. Kerry soon moved up to the quality control department for a new challenge and in 2019 took on a role as a B2B team leader.

Kerry initially joined DJS as a Telephone Interviewer in February 2021 but soon moved over to the Quality and Compliance team.
