Hello, I'm
Sarah
Sarah is a Senior Research Manager at DJS Research with extensive experience across consumer and public sector research. Her career began with an undergraduate placement in the Consumer Insights team at Unilever UK, and since then she has built a multi-disciplinary research career, specialising in delivering actionable insight that provides strategic advantage to clients.
She has worked across sectors including FMCG, retail, and public services, managing projects end-to-end and across both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
Alongside her research, Sarah has a strong passion for supporting professional development. She established DJS Research’s first Junior Research Executive training programme, which evolved into the company’s Training Lead role – a first for the business – helping colleagues realise their potential and develop their skills.
Outside of work, Sarah is a busy mum of three and is kept active by her energetic pointer, Otto. She enjoys exploring new places and the great outdoors, whether that’s hiking up a mountain or paragliding off one.
