Discovery Research promotes Hathaway to MD

UK— Alan Hathaway has been promoted to managing director at Discovery Research, part of the Discovery Group.

He is innovative, creative yet logical in his thought processes, and totally committed to the market research industry, where he is held in high esteem by clients, colleagues and competitors. Ken and I are confident that he will develop this new role, and Discovery Research, in exciting directions.”
