About Us

We're part of the MMR Group established in 1989 by David Thomson. David continues his academic work as Visiting Professor of Sensory & Consumer Science at the University of Reading. Many of the team also play active roles in their relevant industries; keeping abreast of the latest developments in all areas & providing expertise in sensory, statistics, marketing and research.

Since 1993, we've had an annually audited Quality Management System which meets the requirements of ISO 9001 and ISO 20252 (formerly MRQSA).

We're one of the largest privately-owned research companies in the UK, and we are considered leaders in many areas of quantitative and qualitative research. As a result, we have many bluechip food, drink and consumer packaged goods clients in our regular client base.

The Group employs about 100 people, and has a combined turnover of £16m, with MMR Research Worldwide contributing about half.

Year on year, our growth has come organically as new and existing clients benefit from our innovative, creative and scientifically rigorous research methods.
