Evolution and Research Now Link for Syndicated Study

Evolution - the new joint venture between DVL Smith and DGL Consulting - has partnered with Research Now to conduct a syndicated insurance study among UK SMEs. The study will probe small firms' insurance needs, beliefs and purchasing patterns.

Evolution was founded in November by UK research veteran David Smith and management consultants Adam Riley and Jennifer Del Carlo, to offer syndicated sector reports combined with consultancy services.

Del Carlo (pictured) says the collaboration will provide insurers and brokers with the insights they need to develop effective growth strategies. 'Through the partnership, we are providing key decision makers with more strategic information in a hard-to-reach market,' she added.

Research Now's Director of Partnerships Michael Mayers said that the new relationship with Evolution is one of a number of collaborations his firm is working on to combine its online fieldwork specialism with agency subject expertise.
