Jackling / Lonsdale Merger set for 2003 - Official

Already the FT and Economist of the research industry rolled into one, DRNO now launches its bid to be the Hello! magazine as well... In what pundits are already calling the MR wedding of the year, we can exclusively reveal today that MRS stalwart and IDA boss Peter Jackling and JLRS MD Jill Lonsdale are to marry.

Jill and Peter are one of the UK research industry's best known couples and speculation about an official announcement has been bubbling for years, but the confirmation will no doubt disappoint Ms Lonsdale's many admirers.

The couple plan to marry 'by Spring of next year'.
