                                                   Mat's been at MMR for over ten years, where he was instrumental in the
    Mat Lintern                                    development of our online operation in the early days, before assuming
                                                   control of the Global business. He's responsible for setting strategic

                                                   development in all of our locations across the globe. Though this all keeps
                                                   him very busy, he inexplicably still finds time to get involved in people's
                                                   day-to-day tasks and offer constructive advice.



                                                   An impressive career spanning media, branding, advertising and NPD
    Judith Henderson                               research made Judith a natural choice to head up our European offering,
    Managing Director                              where she manages the ever growing teams to assist clients in optimizing
                                                   concepts, packs and products across the innovation cycle and post-launch.
    EMEA                                           Judith is primarily based in our London office, but visits the Barns HQ
                                                   regularly to help with any new developments and to ensure the teams are
                                                   working to their full potential.




                                                   Since arriving at MMR some years ago, Ian has driven the development and

    Managing Director                              into the room has fuelled the success of our proprietary EROS methodology
                                                   and the implementation of a number of initiatives to enrich delivery of
    AMER                                           consumer insight. He's taken that passion to New York where he now heads
                                                   up the growing team in Manhattan.

                                                   Note his mantra: ‘laughter promotes a relaxed atmosphere’, which leads to
    Qualitative Research                           greater honesty and therefore deeper insight - there's science behind his
                                                   tomfoolery!
