DJS TO HOST NORTH WEST MARKET RESEARCH WORLD CUP

DJS Research Ltd are pleased to announce that they will be hosting the inaugural North West Market Research World Cup on June 21^st 2013. The 2013 competition is being held to raise money for CLIC Sargent, the charity for children and young people with cancer.

          The 5-a-side football competition will see 8 teams from 6 different market
          research companies competing for victory – initially in a round robin format
          featuring two groups of four, and then a knock-out semi-final and final.
          Third place will be decided by a penalty shoot-out.

          The teams competing in the competition are The Fuller Research Group,
          B2B International, Park Lane Research, Join The Dots, Peak Answers, and
          DJS Research Ltd all of whom have made donations to CLIC Sargent by
          way of an entry fee.

          In addition, both Alchemy Research and Calibre Search have made large donations to the charity, and will be attending to support the event along with numerous others involved in the market research industry.

          Vicki Moore, Fundraising Manager for the North West and North Wales at
         CLIC Sargent, said the event would raise valuable funds for the charity:

          “I was thrilled when I heard DJS Research were holding a MR World Cup
          in aid of CLIC Sargent. DJS Research have been a phenomenal partner
          so far, and I have no doubt that the Market Research World Cup they are
          hosting will be a great success and raise vital funds for CLIC Sargent and
          the children and families we support.”

Matches will be played on an all-weather surface at DJS Research’s offices, with a crowd of around 120 anticipated. DJS Research, with the support of the market research community, hope to raise over £1000 for the charity – which would fund a family’s stay in a CLIC Sargent ‘Home from Home’ for a month.

Elliot Simmonds, who leads DJS Research’s corporate charity scheme and organised the event, commented:

“I really am overwhelmed by the amount of support the event has generated. We have had over 100 confirmed guests and the market research industry in the North-west – from full-service agencies, to fieldwork providers, to suppliers and recruitment agencies – has really pulled together to support what is a great cause. It really does show that business can be such a force for good, and I’m really pleased to be part of an industry that recognises and values that.”

CLIC Sargent was formed in 2005 after a successful merger between CLIC and Sargent Cancer Care for Children and is the UK’s leading cancer charity for children and young people, and their families. They provide clinical, practical, financial and emotional support to help affected children cope with cancer and get the most out of life. CLIC Sargent are there from diagnosis onwards and aim to help the whole family deal with the impact of cancer and its treatment, life after treatment and, in some cases, bereavement.
