Agnew Returns to Norstat as UK Managing Director

Oslo, Norway-headquartered data collection specialist Norstat has hired Robert Agnew as Managing Director for Norstat UK, which has responsibility for clients, consumer panels and business in the UK market.

Norstat provides access to online panels in nineteen European countries, and other traditional data collection methods in some of those markets. Norstat UK was formed in 2013, following Norstat's acquisition of online fieldwork specialist ODC Services. Agnew (pictured) began his career at Norstat as a Sales Consultant, before moving to Vitreous World as Associate Director and Director. More recently, he was a Director at full-service communications and market research agency Cicero Group.

Commenting on the appointment, COO Erling Eriksen said: 'I have followed Robert since he departed from Norstat some years ago and have been deeply impressed both by him as a person and by his career development. Robert has gained a lot of experience from the client side which will benefit us in the years ahead. I am certain that both our UK team, the Norstat Group as such and most importantly our clients will benefit greatly from his energy and competency'.
