MRS Awards 2018 – New venue, new categories, new sponsor
30 April 2018

The MRS Awards celebration is the largest and most glittering social event in the UK research sector’s calendar, with 950 guests selling out the 2017 venue. This year we move to Old Billingsgate, a bigger space in which the event can continue to grow with our new Principal Sponsor, Research Now.

“Research Now have been a key supporter of MRS’ social events for many years and we’re delighted to continue that relationship with their sponsorship of the glitziest and most prestigious of them all,” says Jane Frost, CEO of MRS. “Old Billingsgate has a real wow factor and I’m excited for everyone to see how the event will develop in its new home.”

Chris Dubreuil, UK Managing Director of Research Now says: “As a long standing member of the market research and data industries, driving insights for businesses for over 40 years, we’re dedicated to supporting and recognising excellence in all aspects of research. The MRS Awards are the perfect forum to do just that. We’re looking forward to seeing our many clients and colleagues from across the industry on 3 December; this year promises to be even bigger and better than before!”

The MRS Awards 2018 will open for entries on Wednesday 2 May, including two new categories for Breakthrough Business of the Year and Innovation in Data Analytics. A new criterion has also been added for Best Agency and Best Place to Work contenders requesting evidence that they foster an inclusive and equitable workplace culture. The deadline is 2 July.
