MRS names Research Heroes 2024
The list includes 16 awards, with individuals working in both client-side and supplier-side roles in market research, spanning various functions, from account management to fieldwork to leadership positions.
Jane Frost, chief executive at MRS, said: “None of us say thank you often enough. Research Heroes gives the spotlight to people who deserve a thank you, but whose contributions may have gone unsung up until now.
“A big thank you and huge congratulations to all the winners, and a personal thank you to all the judges as well.”
The 2024 Research Heroes are:
Anika Gangal, Entropik Technologies
Sarah Phillis, Tapestry Research
Cathia Randrianarivo, The Unmistakables
Geraldine Trufil, Split Second Research

- Forwarded the cause of research, or issues such as quality, diversity and sustainability.
