Hello, I'm
Al
Al has been a Board Director at DJS Research since 2008. He has been in the role of Managing Director since July 2021, when he took responsibility for leading the company through its new chapter of employee ownership. As part of this role, he has engaged employees across the business in shaping the next phase of the company’s development and consulted Partners to feed into the strategic planning process for the coming years. Partners across all parts of the business have contributed ideas on how the company can continue to develop and improve.
Al has amassed well over 25 years of experience at big and small agencies since starting out in 1998 at B&MR (now Harris Interactive). He still has hands-on involvement in research projects across a number of sectors, in particular the public sector, healthcare, financial services and retail. His experience includes both consumer and B2B research.
Al is an experienced group moderator and qualitative researcher. He is equally comfortable with quantitative techniques and has worked on many projects combining both approaches. He has a BA (Hons) in International Business and the MRS Advanced Certificate.
Al is a former champion Russian wrestler, but these days enjoys more sedate pastimes such as astronomy, walks in the Peaks or the Lakes, pub lunches and drinking red wine.
