Simpson Carpenter Recruits Two from TNS

UK-based insights consultancy Simpson Carpenter has appointed two former TNS researchers, to boost its innovation and technology specialisms.

Wimbledon-based Simpson Carpenter specialises in providing insight to automotive, retail and technology, media and telecoms clients in the UK and further afield. Katja Vukèeviè and Marios Nicolaou join as Account Director and Senior Research Executive respectively, and will work closely with the firm's recently appointed Head of Strategic Insights Emily Hunt.

Vukèeviè joins after six years at TNS, where she handled consumer and B2B research projects, with a specific focus on telecoms and technology. Most recently she was an Associate Director, designing and managing multinational customer experience and loyalty trackers, and she previously gained experience in web and digital marketing in her native Slovenia. Nicolaou began his career in retail management, before joining TNS in 2010. He has recently specialised in innovation and NPD, primarily in the FMCG arena.

Hunt comments: 'Simpson Carpenter is expanding and we need people with the sort of expertise that Marios and Katja can bring. They will both be valuable additions to our tech team and we are looking forward to welcoming them aboard.'
