TNS Adds Pacific Islands

TNS has this week announced the expansion of its Asia Pacific network to include New Caledonia and French Polynesia. The addition of the two new offices in Noumea and Papeete are the result of the extension of an existing relationship between TNS and SARL MBA Consultants.

Whilst the two companies' Asia Pacific operations did not previously have any formalised relationship, TNS Australia and SARL MBA Consultants have collaborated on projects several times since their European counterparts signed an agreement in 1999 (SARL MBA Consultants was a franchise of Louis Harris which belongs to TNS).

Commenting on the news, James Hall, MD of TNS's new division covering Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East and Africa, said the move reflected clients' developing needs in the South Pacific.

Stéphane Renaud, Associate Director, SARL MBA Consultants added, 'We are excited to be working with TNS and to bring such a pioneering brand to this part of the world. We are looking forward to forming closer ties with the company's wider network of offices throughout the region.'

A leading market research company in the French pacific territories, SARL MBA Consultants employs 15 full time staff and has two offices in Noumea and Papeete.
