FDS Winning Streak 16/10/2000 FDS International has continued its impressive new business run with two more assignments from local councils and a new project from Royal Mail. The London Borough of Bromley has commissioned the agency to survey the views of its Orpington residents and businesses concerning a programme of development for Orpington Town Centre. The results, gathered from focus group discussions and large scale face-to-face and telephone interviewing, will help improve accessibility, enhance the environment and encourage private inward investment. Cambridgeshire County Council has also commissioned the agency to conduct a postal survey among local residents to establish their experiences and views of Council services. According to Chairman and CEO, Janet Weitz, "Both projects further enhance FDS’ reputation in best value and citizens research for local government and councils". The company is also testing advertising awareness among residential and business users for a new Royal Mail campaign promoting extended posting times. The campaign, which uses national press and radio, is being researched in seven designated postcode areas throughout England.
