Kantar Health adds five new recruits

Kantar Health has announced the addition of five new members to its UK team, which is based in Epsom.

Hazel Haskayne has joined the agency as a group director following 15 years with TNS, acquired by Kantar in 2008, where she worked most recently as a technology director, taking charge of qualitative research functions.

Additionally, print design and illustration specialist Jenny Maddock has been recruited as a junior designer, strengthening the company's creative impact team, reports PMLiVE.

Finally, three recent university graduates – Anna Tapson, Will Edgar and Rachel Dixon – have all been handed roles within Kantar through the agency's graduate research programme.

Jim Needell, managing director of Kantar Health UK, said: "These most recent additions to our team are already providing great insights and support to our clients in the UK pharmaceutical and biotech industries."

This comes after the firm last month acquired Evidencias, an industry leader in evidence-based, health management services based in Brazil, in order to strengthen its global capabilities.
