The promotions follow a year of learning, mentoring and client-facing experience in behavioural science, qual and quant, neuroscience and analytics through Walnut’s Academy programme, developed for those looking to enter the industry.

Walnut said the seven individuals – Alice Moore, Freya Angood, Eleanor Trotman, Jame Holness, Rylee Dolezal, Vinesh Bhupal and Tyffany Choi – have each demonstrated ‘outstanding’ curiosity, creativity and commitment to delivering impactful work for Walnut’s clients. 

Jane Rudling, managing director, Walnut Unlimited, said: “We believe in empowering young people at the very start of their careers, giving them the tools, confidence and real-world experience they need to thrive.

“Their growth strengthens not just their future, but the future of our team and the industry as a whole. We’re incredibly proud of our graduates and can’t wait to see the impact they’ll make as they continue their journey in research.”
