People UK

UK— Former Illuminas chairman David Smith and two directors from management consultancy DGL are launching a joint venture focusing on syndicated research.

Smith is joined at Evolution Research by DGL’s Adam Riley and Jennifer Del Carlo.

Evolution will offer syndicated marketing consultancy services “in a number of fields” and will commission qual and quant work “in key areas where we know there is substantial interest”, Smith told Research.

The firm’s first report is a “major online study” conducted in China among students who are considering travelling overseas for postgraduate courses. Also in the pipeline is a piece of research looking at the attitudes of UK-based SMEs towards purchasing commercial insurance.

Both DVL Smith and DGL will continue to operate as before, said Smith.
