New Office for DunnhumbyUSA

Consumer intelligence specialist DunnhumbyUSA has opened a third office, adding Chicago to sites in Cincinatti and Atlanta.

The company says the new location will help it serve consumer goods and retail clients including Kraft Foods.

The firm already has 35 employes in Atlanta, GA and 270 in downtown Cincinatti, OH. It was set up as a joint venture between the UK's dunnhumby and US firm Kroger Co., in 2003. Workers are expected to relocate from Cincinnati to staff the new office.

Rob Culin, DunnhumbyUSA's SVP of Manufacturer Client Leadership, comments: 'Our Chicago-based client business continues to grow at a rapid pace, so having an on-the-ground presence there was a strategically important next step for us. Talent is key to our growth and we recognize the size and quality of the skill base in Chicago is enormous. Recruitment of brilliant people in Chicago will help us grow our business both in the U.S. and internationally.'

The company is said to be close to selecting a new Cincinatti office, to replace its bulging HQ in Third Street and allow space for up to 600 employees - an active search for analysis, client leadership and marketing staff is underway.

dunnhumby has a global presence with offices in the Americas, Europe and Asia/Pacific, and expanded its partnership with highest profile client Tesco earlier this year (DRNO). Web site: www.dunnhumby.com .
