As the agency has built its list of Scottish clients, mruk has decided to open a new office in Glasgow city centre to support those clients.

The agency already has offices in Manchester in addition to its Battersea-based London headquarters.

Its clients cover a range of private sector organisations as well as third sector charities and non-governmental organisations. Much of its research is in the public sector for both national and local government.

Rachel Cope, head of mruk, said: “Scotland has always been vital to mruk’s success, and we can only see its influence growing in the future. The offices will be a real boost for all my colleagues across our brands, and particularly in providing local support to Consensus Research’s financial services clients.”
