About FDS

Solid foundations, new directions…

	Charlotte Cornish Managing Director

FDS International was acquired by marketing services group, Munro Global, in June 2006. Building on a solid track record of over 30 years in providing excellence in market research, new leadership under Munro has extended the scope of services provided by FDS and its sister companies in the group.

With a turnover of over £7 million in 2009, FDS provides a full range of market research services to blue chip clients in both private and public sectors.

The excellence in data collection, skilled analysis and customer focused delivery for which FDS Consumer, Social and Business Research teams are known and respected by their clients is now being complemented by a range of new, customer centric, solutions.

Richard Hepburn Chief Executive

Our Marketing Analytics team brings contemporary analysis techniques to bear in understanding and deriving solutions for challenging business problems. Our Data Intelligence group uses leading-edge skills in relational database design and interactive web-reporting to provide real-time access to metrics which give clients the power to make a difference in managing their operations.

The op unit - Munro Operations, delivers unrivalled quality in fieldwork, both internally to our Research, Analytics and Data teams but also direct to clients, to other research agencies and consultants. Extending our traditional strengths in producing client-focused solutions using traditional face-to-face, postal and telephone techniques the Unit has full capability to perform online and ‘multi-modal’ research.

Our success today and in the future is totally dependent on our Team. FDS and the Munro Global group story is a compelling one and we are always on the lookout for new people to join a growing and dynamic team. Please visit the Careers tab to find out more.
