Virtual Surveys Names New Business Development Director

UK-based Virtual Surveys has appointed former WaveMetrix Research Director Jon Beaumont to identify and solve current and potential clients' research needs.

Beaumont will also be tasked with setting up a dedicated research team to ensure the company meets its targets, and will work alongside Graeme Lawrence, Virtual Surveys' other Business Development Director.

Beaumont has more than 16 years' market research experience. He joined online consumer generated media specialist WaveMetrix as Chief Research Officer last Autumn (www.mrweb.com/drno/news5852.htm ) from Continental Research where he headed the media division. Prior to this he was a Researcher at BMRB International.

Virtual Surveys MD Quentin Ashby comments: 'It is a testament to Virtual Surveys' growth over recent months that we have been able to secure a business development director of Jon's calibre. His vast research experience, combined with his proven new business track record and his expertise in the new media arena will prove a great asset to the company.'
