Thanks in particular to those who enthusiastically shared in these lively discussions, which we are thrilled to say, were moderated personally by Synovate Managing Director, Julie Beeck ably assisted by researcher Sarah Loye. Combined with Synovate’s research outcomes, we’ll be incorporating many of these shared ideas and thoughts and Synovate's report into our own planning processes to benefit you!
