20|20 Research Opens UK Office

Global research technology and service company 20|20 Research is opening a United Kingdom office to make its online qualitative products and services more readily available throughout Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), it was announced today.

The office, to be headed by UK market research veteran David Chandler, will increase service support for existing EMEA 20|20 clients and market the firm's innovative technologies and services to potential new users throughout the region. 

The move comes as international marketers and researchers are more readily adding online qualitative and related strategies to their research regimen in the face of continually stagnating budgets. 

"The EMEA markets are growing quickly and integrating more online qual into their market research plans," said Jim Bryson, CEO, 20|20 Research.  "We have been a part of this growth and are expanding the reach of our pioneering tools to EMEA researchers and marketers to provide ever greater value and quality.  In addition to more closely serving our existing EMEA clients, David will aggressively introduce and increase adoption of online qual in these growing markets." 

Since 2005, Chandler has been the Commercial Director EMEA for FocusVision Worldwide and brings almost 25 years of sales and market research experience to the 20|20 table.  He has also held sales and leadership positions with Capita Learning and Development, the UK's largest provider of training courses in specialist areas such as project management, leadership and communications skills, and Survive Holdings, one of the UK's leading business continuity consultancies. 

He additionally spent three years as a sales and marketing consultant to clients that included Virgin Atlantic, The Department of Trade and Industry in London and the law firm Ashurst Morris Crisp. 

"David's expertise and his deep understanding of the industry, the EMEA market and the needs of market researchers made him a perfect fit for 20|20," Bryson said.  "He has an outstanding record of gaining, serving and retaining new business relationships.  He'll be a highly vocal and influential advocate for 20|20 and the innovations that we offer." 

The company's UK office opened January 2, 2015 and will be located in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.  Chandler's title will be Business Development Director EMEA for 20|20 Research
