New MD at CI research firm

Monday 08 May 2017

Island Global Research has appointed a new MD - Lindsay Jefferies is taking over from Chris Brock.

Mr Brock, who has led IGR since it was established within the BWCI Group in 2015, will continue to develop the business and provide expertise in his new role as a non-executive director on IGR's Board.

Before joining IGR, Ms Jefferies was an economist in the UK Civil Service, a Research Fellow at the University of Oxford and a Lecturer at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

Lindsay Jefferies said: "I am delighted to take over the leadership of Island Global Research. It is an exciting opportunity and I have tremendous support from Chris and colleagues. As we continue to grow the business, I hope to expand the management consultancy and market research services we offer, drawing on my skills in economics, statistics, and policy research."

Stephen Ainsworth, the Senior Partner of the BWCI Group, commented: "We are enormously grateful for the major contribution that Chris has made in developing this unique consultancy and benchmarking service within the BWCI Group. We are delighted that he will continue to be part of the Board in his new role and look forward to his continuing insights. In Lindsay we have a worthy successor who will be able to bring her own wealth of experience to the role.”
