In his new role, Berry (pictured) will oversee the day-to-day management of the business.

Prior to joining Field Locker, Berry was strategic change consultant at Clariti, part of Savanta.

Field Locker was previously known as Teamsearch before a rebrand earlier this year and has relocated from Halifax to Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire.

The company, which specialises in data collection and fieldwork covering CATI, face-to-face and online methods, was set up in 1989 and has been under the ownership of current managing director Rob Hogan since 2016.

Hogan said: “We’re so excited to have David on board. He’s a great talent and will spearhead our growth plans and strategies.

“After 10 years of quite steady growth, it’s really a new chapter for us at Field Locker and we can’t wait to get started.”
