Lucy has 17 years of experience delivering quantitative and qualitative research including nationally representative surveys, evaluations and mixed method projects. She has managed multi-disciplinary teams overseeing projects in areas including health, social attitudes, children and families, criminal justice and the media. This has included a range of projects from inception and design through to disseminating the findings at events such as at the Scottish Parliament, the Ministry of Justice and the London Business School.
