In challenging times like the current ones, it is good to know that there is a helping hand to provide support where needed. The Market Research Business Association (MRBA) works to provide financial assistance and advice to individual colleagues in the UK who are in need. The MRBA provides help in a respectful, sensitive, and confidential manner.
The IQCS and many IQCS member companies are proud sponsors of the MRBA. Their mission is to provide financial relief, assistance and support to people from our industry, and to their dependents where appropriate, who are experiencing financial distress so they can get their lives back on track.
If you know someone working in market research who would benefit from getting in touch with the MRBA, please pass on their web site details. https://mrba.org.uk/
