Hello, I'm

Erin

Erin graduated from Birmingham City University in 2018 with a First-Class BSc (Hons) in Psychology. During her studies, she developed a keen interest in both qualitative and quantitative research, as well as social psychology, which inspired her to pursue a career in market research.

Erin started her career as a Recruitment Consultant within Data Analytics before moving into market research in 2020. She worked across brand tracking, quantitative analysis, and ad-hoc projects for global clients, before moving into qualitative healthcare operations as a Project Coordinator. She progressed to Project Manager, leading global projects and managing clients, internal teams, and external partners with a focus on delivering actionable insights.

Since joining DJS Research in 2022 as a Research Executive within the culture team, Erin has been promoted to Senior Research Executive. She is passionate about understanding people and delivering research with a social impact, particularly in areas such as corporate responsibility, sustainability, and hard to reach audiences.

Erin has written a thought leadership blog post, which can be found here:

Outside of work, Erin enjoys reading (and is quickly running out of space on her bookshelf!) and spoiling her cat Loki, who occasionally makes guest appearances on her calls.

The Operational Board is responsible for the day-to-day running of the business and developing the company’s business strategy. They are also fully hands-on, winning and delivering research projects.

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.

The role of the Trust Board is to ensure DJS Research is run in the best interests of all Partners and meets its legal responsibilities. It works closely with the Operational Board, offering strategic challenge and oversight.

Our company founder, and former Managing Director, Danny Sims, sits on the Trust Board, continuing to share his knowledge and experience garnered from over 30 years in market research. Financial oversight is provided by Finance Director, Rich Slater, while HR Manager, Lucy Pawson, champions the voice of our people through EO Voice – our employee council which represents the views and interests of everyone across the company and provides a direct route to both company boards. Our external Independent Trustee Director, John-Paul Simpson, provides an important and entirely neutral perspective on company matters and brings invaluable employee ownership expertise from his own business. His role is to protect employee interests, uphold company values, and ensure accountability across leadership.
