Research Partnership appoints new directors

Research Partnership has appointed Anne Cunningham as a director of its European division based at the global’s head office in London.

Cunningham has over 25 years’ of practice in the pharmaceutical industry and has experience from roles in both client and agency companies including AstraZeneca and most recently at AbbVie as its customer insights partner, where she was responsible for leading analytics, market research and insight generation programmes.

Prior to this, Cunningham has also served at Cello Health Insight as its research director.

In addition, the London UK-based firm has appointed Morten Anderson as an associate director to join its specialist quantitative team.

Anderson joins the group from the Epsom, UK-based healthcare market research group Kantar Health, where he spent the last nine years working on large-scale quantitative and brand tracking projects for international clients.

Mark Jeffery, founding director at Research Partnership, said: “We are delighted to welcome both Anne and Morten to Research Partnership.

“Both bring with them a wealth of knowledge and expertise and we look forward to them contributing to the company’s ongoing growth and development as we celebrate our 20^th anniversary.”

“Having worked with Anne previously as a client of our syndicated market-tracking tool Therapy Watch, it’s great to now be able to welcome her to our ad-hoc team.”

Meanwhile director Sue Rees - who first joined Research Partnership in 2013 in the company’s European division - has transitioned into the specialist emerging markets division after 25 years’ experience in market research.

Marc Yates, director of emerging markets, said: “The emerging markets division has continued to grow and in order to sustain this growth we needed to recruit a director who could not only add to the skills of our existing team but hit the ground running.

“Sue’s knowledge and prior experience of working in the Asia market will be a strong asset to the team.”
