FreshMinds Research Doubles Office Space

In London, FreshMinds Research has doubled the size of its Holborn office, to provide space for its growing team of research consultants.

With this latest expansion, FreshMinds has replaced its former meeting rooms with a series of themed spaces featuring wall-sized graphics chosen by the team.

As well as doubling the company's meeting room capacity, new break-out rooms and informal workspaces have been created to enable the agency to accommodate an increasing number of projects focused on innovation, workshops, co-creation and small-scale deliberative research.

The move increases the firm's capacity by 70% to accommodate an enlarged team. Recent recruits include Ian Redpath, who joins as a Research Manager from BITC, and Joe Catling, who is the latest recruit to FreshMinds' graduate training scheme.

'We're thrilled to have a funky new office that reflects the energy of our people and our values as an agency,' said MD Alistair Leathwood. 'FreshMinds has always been home to great ideas and we're confident that we've now created an environment that will genuinely inspire our researchers and their clients.'

In September, FreshMinds Research formed a Research Communities and Panels division, and appointed former BT Research Head James Turner to lead it. Since then, the firm has launched a suite of social media monitoring services, to enable clients to gain insight into how and why online consumer conversations are shaping their brand.
