Research Runner expands senior team

In her new role, Holmes-Atkin (pictured) will cover operations management, customer service, HR, recruitment, marketing and acting as the firm’s data protection officer.

Before joining Research Runner, Holmes-Atkin was digital operations manager for Iron Mountain.

Matthew Wood has also joined Research Runner as sales team manager, having previously been multi-site/cluster store manager at JAR Communications and also worked for more than eight years at Virgin Media.

In his new role, Wood will focus on sales team strategy, sales team development, performance management, recruitment and marketing.

Research Runner has restructured its senior team ahead of an additional sales team expansion and office relocation in east Hertfordshire or west Essex.

The company was founded in 2010 and provides lead generation and sales consultancy services.

Julian Haste, managing director at Research Runner, said: “It is fantastic for the company to be able to bring in Katie and Matt to our leadership team, giving us the springboard for further growth.”
