Expanding our public sector team
24th January 2024 15:05
Last year we welcomed 15 new starters to DJS Research across all areas of our business. Every new partner brings fresh ideas, a new perspective and invaluable experience, and no where have we felt this to greater positive effect than in the growth of our public sector team.
In 2023 we were delighted to onboard three new researchers who each bring a specialist skill set and extensive policy area knowledge to strengthen our excellent public sector offering. January sees the continuation of this growth with a fourth addition to our public sector team, helping to further consolidate our expertise in this market.
Read on for an overview of the skill and specialisms of our newest partners who are already boosting the power of the DJS Research public sector team:
