What it is we do

Our core service is telephone-based market research, both in the UK and internationally. Sometimes our clients want us to evaluate brand perception, or attitudes towards proposed service changes; or to conduct running mystery shopping campaigns and competitor intelligence exercises; other requirements include focus group and panel recruitment, or tracking customer satisfaction.

Types of telephone research we conduct include:

  • Customer Satisfaction surveys
  • Brand awareness surveys
  • Attitudinal surveys
  • Gap Studies
  • Competitor Intelligence surveys
  • Mystery Shopping
  • Readership Habits
  • Multilingual / BME surveys

Much of our work is subcontracted to us by both major and smaller full service market research agencies, and we are, in the main, perceived as trade suppliers rather than a client-side agency. As trade suppliers we have to demonstrate quality, cost-effectiveness and flexibility.

However we supply a number of large businesses and organisations directly, particularly for standalone projects, and welcome all approaches.

Telephone Surveys

Using 60 multi-channel CATI-enabled workstations we conduct customer satisfaction surveys, perception studies, mystery shopping, competitor intelligence, multilingual data capture and much more. We are fully committed to the Market Research Society Code of Conduct.

IVR Surveys

Respondents can simply call a dedicated 0800 telephone number and complete a survey according to voice prompts. Answers are keyed by respondents using a touch-tone telephone or have their verbal answers recorded. Particularly useful for customer satisfaction and product feedback within the Retail sector.

Real-time monitoring of results, 24 hours 7 days a week.

Who we are

Since 2001 PEXEL has been attracting press attention and praise for the innovation and quality we apply to our market research services. We are one of the first research companies in the UK working towards the new international market research standard ISO 20252.

We have a wide range of national and international clients, ranging from full service market research, marketing and advertising agencies through to direct clients such as Xerox, KPMG, Stanford University, Unipart and IATA. Due to our commitment to excellence and cost-effectiveness we are now the largest independent telephone research agency operating in Scotland, and one of the fastest growing in Europe.

PEXEL was founded by Kay French (Managing Director) and Pavel Marek (Operations Director). Data management, statistical output and CATI deployment for our studies is headed by Bruce Leslie (Technical Director). Myra F. Loomer (Senior Research Executive/Project Manager) handles many of our US accounts. Maria Grazia Cianfrocca (Senior Research Executive/Project Manager) works primarily with European projects. Yael Smit (Senior Research Executive/Project Manager) heads participant recruitment for qualitative research (focus groups, depth face to face etc.); and Erzsébet Tóth (Quality Assurance Manager) heads over-all compliance with quality assurance requirements, as well as instituting on-going staff training. Lawrence Berry (IT Manager) has, since his arrival in early 2008, implemented a series of technical innovations to improve call tracking, output standards and multi-channel efficiencies.
