Noble returns to Tpoll in MD role

Noble first joined the firm in 2004 but left in 2007 and moved to Barcelona where he worked as an independent consultant. Earlier in his career, Noble had spells with TNS and Ipsos.

CEO Mark Ursell has been carrying out the duties of managing director since leading a management buyout at the firm in 2008 and will now concentrate on his chief executive role.

Ursell said: “[Barry’s] ongoing input and drive will be invaluable as Tpoll begins this new phase of growth, especially with online communities. The team feels very excited to have Barry on board and looks forward to involving him in the strategic evolution of the company.”
