Walnut Adds Five to UK Team
UK-based insights firm Walnut Unlimited has taken on five new recruits, including Elisha Temminck and Alex Banks as Associate Directors.
 A part of marcoms network the Unlimited Group, and itself formed from the 2017 merger of four insight businesses, Walnut's offer combines neuroscience, behavioural psychology and economics for clients in retail, technology, financial and FMCG markets, on customer experience, brand and communications projects. In the past year it has launched emotional response product testing approach TrueLiking, comms testing methodology adMIRE, pack testing option Agile PACKMASTER, and new features for its shopper research toolkit.
Temminck joins after nearly three years at ITV as Commercial Audience Research Manager, prior to which she worked at community panel specialist Verve as Research Manager, and at Hall & Partners as an Account Executive. In her new role, Temminck is tasked with helping grow the agency's media roster. Banks previously spent four years in the insight team at Dyson, latterly as Owner Experience Senior Analyst, managing the Dyson NPS and customer insight programmes. He will now lead on and support insights across multiple accounts.
In addition, Karen Mahere joins as Junior Project Manager from Maru/Matchbox, and Laura Baker joins as Research Executive from Hampshire County Council. Meanwhile at social research specialist ICM Unlimited, Simon Cereda becomes Research Manager, following roles at Savanta ComRes and Edelman Intelligence. In his new position, he will continue to grow ICM's polling presence and other work among political clients.
MD Jane Rudling comments: 'As the industry continues to overcome a huge period of uncertainty, it's brilliant to be able to bring such amazing talent into the business. We can't wait to see how all of these new hires flourish in their roles, each bringing their own unique style and vast amounts of experience to the team'.
