Research
Following the expansion of the research team, it has been reorganised into smaller teams, each with a focus on a particular theme. Whilst each team will spend a significant amount of its time on those themes, they will also be involved in a range of other research.
Our Deputy Chief Executive, Stephen Howarth, coordinates and manages the work of the Research Team.
