Hello, I'm
Carol
She then joined DJS Research as a telephone interviewer and quickly discovered that the CATI team was looking for a Team Leader, which she applied for.
Carol has a keen eye and a passion for helping others. She really enjoys seeing tasks through from start to finish with the desired results.
Carol loves having the radio on whilst she works and enjoys being out with her dog. She also enjoys a good audiobook, although trying not to fall asleep before chapter three is normally a given.
Family is an important part of her life, seeing her twin boys enjoying life, achieving their goals, and living life to the full. Carol is a true believer that you get from life what you give, and she strives to live life to the maximum.

Our Managing Director, Alastair Gleed, and several of our board members are founding figures of DJS Research, having joined in the early post-shed era of the company (intrigued... read about ‘the shed’) and have been in research since the previous millennium! In Spring 2024 we introduced a new scheme to bring fresh thinking and new energy into our boardroom, welcoming three new board members on a rotational basis. Both the initiative and the new members of the team were warmly received, and it's already paid dividends as the trio have had a hugely positive impact company-wide.
