It's full speed ahead for our integration into Norstat as we were joined in Hexham by some of our new colleagues for meetings, workshops, and training. With of course, a Champions League match to enjoy together! #Norstat

I am pleased to announce that DRG and @Panelbase have been acquired by @NorstatGroup, one of the leading data collection companies for market research in Europe. View the full press release here:

We’ve reached the end of the year and the final part of our research into the cost of living crisis, and what a year 2022 has been. Who would have foreseen what was on the horizon post-pandemic – for part 4 we are focusing on the mood of the nation. https://t.co/4X6l99o2wf

For part 3, DRG and Panelbase are looking at the most vulnerable of our society. With rising food and energy bills pushing inflation to a 41-year high, the crisis is becoming a UK-wide problem with 23% of adults unable to make ends meet. https://t.co/9fbZXv62mH

For part 2 we are focusing on young adults and how they are dealing with The Cost of Living Crisis. Our research highlights how the crisis impacts young adults' mental well-being and the steps they are taking to enable them to pay their bills. https://t.co/ko9eKBELYt

The Cost of Living Crisis is having a significant impact on the UK, so here at DRG we have dove deeper into its effect. We started with the Fuel Crisis, looking at how our panel members are coping and what they are doing to manage fuel price inflation. https://t.co/qS0ZbDX4Fu

We're hiring! Are you an ambitious senior research exec looking to take the next step in research? Or an established research manager looking for a new role developing innovative brand and media research projects? If so, we'd love to hear from you! https://t.co/FWVP67Zkn0

Last week marked the start of Autumn and there is definitely now a chill in the air! We asked @Panelbase members what their favourite thing about this season is, and it’s all about cosying up and watching the changes in nature… #autumn #nature #pumpkin

There is some debate on if Read a New Book Month should be celebrated in September or December! Whichever month you decide to celebrate, reading still remains a popular pastime! We polled @Panelbase panellists on some of their New Book buying habits… #readanewbook #bookstoread

We had fantastic Summer Party at Brinkburn Brewery last week! It was great to be back together after a year and a half of working from home. We ate, we drank and we welcomed all our new wonderful staff. #staffparty #officeparty

In honour of #NeverGiveUpDay we asked our wonderful Team for some of their favourite Quotes and Mantras that keep them motivated during challenging times! #inspiration #motivation

We polled @Panelbase panellists on their favourite new Olympic sport and best moments of this year’s games. Lots of love for Skateboarding and the fantastic Sky Brown, and many were happy to see Tom Daley finally get that gold! #tokyo2021 #olympics #TomDaley

#NationalMarineWeek runs from the 24th of July to the 8th of August, and is a chance to celebrate the fabulous wildlife found in our seas, and our relationship with the coastline habitat. Here is what Panelbase panelists had to say about what they love about visiting the coast:

We are delighted to announce that Molly Oliver has been promoted to Research Manager!   Molly’s attitude is exceptional and her positivity has been exactly what the DRG team have needed over the COVID period.   Join us in congratulating Molly on her new role! #employeespotlight
