The office expands Field Scope’s operations into sub-Saharan Africa.

Headquartered in London, the company also has offices in the US, Serbia and Bulgaria, and offers fieldwork recruiting services in healthcare, business-to-business and consumer sectors.

The company said it has noticed an increase in demand for market research in the region.

Peter Chulu, managing director, Field Scope International (pictured), said: “Africa is no longer viewed as an underdeveloped economy, but rather a fast train moving in the right direction, so it was up to us to either stand still and watch it pass by, or jump right on, and Field Scope International decided to position itself in the forefront of this fast-moving train by opening an office in Lilongwe, Malawi.”
