ASC elects Snap co-founder Wills as chairman

Wills (pictured) is chairman of software firm Snap Surveys, the company he co-founded with MD Steve Jenkins in 1981. Gerrard, meanwhile, is an independent IT and business consultant.

Commenting on his role at the ASC, Wills said: “It is certainly a very interesting time to be chairman of the ASC as the research market is moving on rapidly with the take-up of different technologies.

“As the role of the traditional researcher changes we need to be in a position to promote innovation and best practice in survey computing.”
