Hello, I'm

Rachel

Rachel is a Senior Research Manager, specialising in healthcare and medical/med-tech projects. She graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2019 with a First-Class BA (Hons) in History and Sociology.

Rachel has worked across a variety of sectors including education, publishing and construction, but her focus remains on healthcare. She is a mixed-methods researcher, with particular expertise in large international qualitative studies, speaking directly to patients as well as a wide range of medical professionals such as GPs, cardiologists, and nurses. Her passion lies in using research to improve healthcare services and patient experience, ensuring the patient voice is heard globally.

Since joining DJS Research in 2021, Rachel has been recognised for her skill in managing complex international research projects, and her positive, can-do attitude has made her an invaluable part of the team.

Outside of work, Rachel loves to travel and stay active, whether through yoga, pilates, or long hikes with her energetic Spaniel.

DJS Research Operational Board

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.

DJS Research Trust Board

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.
