UK-based custom panel solutions specialist EasyInsites has reported a 37% increase in annual revenue to £750,000 for 2011. The firm has also moved into new office space and doubled the size of its team with the appointment of four new members of staff.

Surrey-based EasyInsites was founded in 2009 by former Research Now directors, Charles Pearson and Jo Winning. The full service online research agency specialises in building client custom panels, as well as research communities.

Nick Bellamy joins as Senior Research Operations Executive, from YouGov, where he managed an operations team responsible for sampling, data processing, coding and other panel and operational tasks. Before this, he was a Project Manager at Lightspeed Research, and he worked at Maritz, Nunwood and BMRB. Bellamy began his career in social research as an Information Officer for Surrey County Council.

New Research Operations Executive Elaine Fowler joins from FACTS International, where she conducted CATI customer satisfaction surveys.

Chris Twin takes up the post of Web Designer & Developer, to work on designing web sites for custom panels and research communities. He previously created web sites for companies such as Emap Publishing and Capital Radio.

Rebecca Batey becomes Sales and Marketing Executive, having earlier worked as an intern at Enhance Media, where she covered aspects of SEO, social media and marketing. She also has experience in working with both qual and quant data.

Co-founder and MD Charles Pearson comments: 'In less than three years of trading, EasyInsites has grown consistently year after year in revenue and profit. In a relatively short time, we have become a trusted online research and custom panel management supplier to some of the world's best known companies.'
