Three Appointments for UK's Blue Marble

In the UK, insights agency Blue Marble has hired Olivier Boelman and Amelie Treppass as Research Directors and Brigid Eades as a Research Executive, following strong growth in 2022.

The company works across qual and quant, with strong sector experience including public sector, utilities, FMCG, retail financial services and charity/not for profit.

Boelman and Treppass join from people development and research consultancy Traverse, where they focused on work for utilities, in particular water and energy research, which will complement Blue Marble's existing strengths in this area. Boelman has two decades' experience at agencies in the Netherlands and the UK, also including Accent MR and TNS. Treppass is a qualitative specialist, with more than a decade in agency settings and previous experience as a local Councillor in London; and has a particular interest in environmental, sustainability and net zero issues.

Eades joins after six years working as a geography teacher in schools, of potential use in Blue Marble's wide-ranging research on sustainability issues. She holds a Masters in Anthropology.

Managing Director Tom Clarkson comments: 'We're delighted to welcome Amelie, Brigid and Olivier to our growing team. We had a fantastic 2022 and are already working hard to deliver outstanding research for our clients this year. We're confident that that the new trio will play a vital role in ensuring our ongoing success - not least by making the most of their skills and expertise on topics around climate change and what this means for the future of British society, which is a core area of specialism for us'.
