Panelbase Hires for London Opening

North of England-based online research supplier Panelbase has officially opened its new office in London, where it has appointed former Lightspeed Research exec Andrew Pringle as Client Development Manager.

Panelbase boasts a research community of more than 175,000 members, and a range of services from sample-only to full-service projects. In September, the company appointed former Ugam Research Solutions Manager Joerg Schymczyk as Sales Director, responsible for setting up a London office and developing international business.

Pringle worked most recently at online marketing agency Pigsback.com, where as Business Innovation Consultant he conducted employee research and developed in-depth market analysis reports. Before this, he worked as UK and Ireland Correspondent for music magazine Kerrang!, served as Client Co-ordinator at Lightspeed Research, and as Client Service Executive at Research Now. Earlier, he worked as a researcher for the Department of Justice in Ireland.

Director Angus Webb comments: 'Andrew's experience working for large panel companies makes him a perfect fit with Panelbase, as we continue to grow our client base and extend our on-the-ground presence in London.'
