About Neal Smart

Currently working for Populus Data Solutions managing online market research projects. Prior to this I worked with ICM Direct Ltd for 12 years rising from Telephone Interviewer to Deputy MD whilst the company’s turnover grew from c£1m to c£12m pa. ICM Direct is the data collection arm of the ICM Research group, an Insight and Market Research consultancy. Offering full research agency services, including online, ICM are best known for their Guardian opinion polls and for being the most accurate opinion pollster over the last few UK General Elections. ICM Direct collected all the raw information from which analysis could be made and insight then given. Being extremely hard working, conscientious, and systematic I am capable of absorbing great stress and responsibility whilst delivering high quality and profitable results. Loyal though target driven, I offer effective, decisive, leadership and a mature outlook that comes from a wide range of life experience. I am looking to find a position allowing scope for hands on operational and creative involvement, alongside client facing responsibilities, ideally in a company with a start-up mentality where successful hard work is rewarded. Specialties: Market Research, Operations, Call/Contact Centres, Start-Ups, Outsourcing
