The Field Division
The Qualitative Lab is primarily available for independent hire, and most clients use their own recruiters and moderators. But...
Need more than the facility?
The Qualitative Lab is part of Plus Four Market Research. Our Field Division provides participant recruitment and market research fieldwork across the UK, whether for research taking place at The Qualitative Lab or elsewhere.
