A great research company we work with is after some help finding two adults that have only recently started using the Internet. If you or anyone you know fit this bill please read what they are offering below.

“We are looking for adults who in the last 6 months started using the internet at home for the first time. There aren’t many of them around, so if you know of anyone, it would really help.

They need to have had little or no access to the internet for personal use until getting online in the past 6 months. We want to visit these people at home to talk about their experiences, and to find out what prompted them to get connected to the internet. This visit will take a maximum of 2 hours and can be conducted in the daytime or evening.

For this we will offer them a cash payment of £65.

We will call any candidates in advance to check that they meet our criteria for the research, and if so, to arrange an appointment. Our interviewers will bring photo ID from the Market Research Society and participants can call our office at any time if they have any concerns. This is not commercial research – no-one will try to sell them anything!

At least half of this group will be aged over 65, so age is no barrier to participation!

If you know of any willing candidates, please send us their name and phone number and location (e.g city or town)  – or alternatively ask them to call our office on 020 7384 1297 and speak to Kat, Magda, or Stuart.”

On Thursday 15th Jan we ran a free ‘Mobile and Home Working’ Ninja Skills training hour at Adam St in Central London for 20 small businesses.

The hour is filled with 100 or so ‘ top tips’ delivered in a fun and interesting format. We ask attendees to take at least 3 tips back to the office that will change the way they work, saving time frustration.

These sessions are run within the context of ‘We don’t know what we don’t know!’. Every 6 weeks we offer a different subject.

Some attendees kindly offered to be filmed post session to tell us what they thought…. (apologies in advance for the poor audio quality in the videos below)
