RONIN Focus Group Facility in Central London Opens
Construction on RONIN's new, state-of-the-art focus group facility, located in central London just behind Buckingham Palace, was completed in July 2004. "In central London there are not the same number of quality of facilities as there are in other countries, so RONIN built a facility for its own use as well as for other marketing research firms, advertising agencies and end user clients," said Andrew Nelson, Studio Manager. "With the facility's proximity to Victoria Station, both recruits and clients will be able to participate in focus groups with ease," said Nelson.

RONIN's global recruitment and project management means that clients working on multi-country studies can also have RONIN handle recruitment in all other countries from its centralized call center. This ensures consistency in the approach used for screening participants, regardless of country and language. Further, it simplifies a client's management of focus group projects since there is just one person to work with on recruitment - the RONIN project manager - regardless of the country in which the group is being conducted.

"What our clients want is a seamless process for conducting groups across a range of countries with the consistency and quality of recruitment that a centralized model such as RONIN's can provide," Nelson added.
