Populus, which was founded in 2003 by former Tory party staff Michael Simmonds, Andrew Cooper and Rick Nye, is best known for its work in polling and political research.

Stellings, who joined Populus in 2006 with a BSc in Politics and International Relations from the University of Southampton, also takes on responsibility for Parliamentary research and Populus’s growing portfolio of work in the education field.

Bridger joined the firm in 2008 as a Research Executive, after gaining an MSc in Political Science from LSE. Rowson has worked at Populus since 2011, and Thomas has worked there since 2010.
