The title of Founder and Director of BEAM Fieldwork brings me great pride.In my 25 years of Market Research, there aren't many parts of the industry that I haven’t encountered. I've been a venue host, a recruiter, a Fieldwork Manager, a Senior Fieldwork Manager, and a Fieldwork Director. I've even dipped my toe into moderating, been a prominent member of the BIG Committee, the ICG, and a full member of the MRS and AQR. This extensive experience is why I decided to start my own Fieldwork Agency, BEAM Fieldwork. The company that BEAM Fieldwork is today is far from alike to when it first started. It began with my best friend Vic, both of us working from laptops on the sofa in my home. And in six short years we have grown to a team of 20, and we’re still growing. I’m always on the lookout for new talent and fresh perspectives.I am often asked why I chose the name BEAM, and the answer is pretty simple. Beams are symbolic of light – of big ideas – because our ideas aren’t small lightbulb moments, they’re beaming white lights. Yet, more recently, BEAM has taken on a new meaning to me: that there is always light at the end of a tunnel. When Vic sadly passed away, the BEAMIES (as I like to call them) helped me navigate some tough times. Their ability to provide continuity and set exceptional standards in my absence is a true credit to the team.BEAM is here to rise to the challenge. As a client, you can rest assured that we are willing to take on the obstacles that other fieldwork agencies shy away from. We are a supportive, resourceful, and trustworthy bunch with a common mission: to set exceptional standards in fieldwork. I believe that we will become integral to the success of your market research projects and we always leave our clients beaming with joy.
