We are pleased to announce the acquisition of an 85% stake in HPI Research Limited (HPI), a market research agency based in London, through our data and insights subsidiary, Morar Consulting (Morar).

The remaining 15% stake in HPI will be acquired by Morar in June 2018.

HPI is one of the UK’s largest full service independent research agencies.

Tim Dyson, CEO of Next 15 commented:

“This acquisition is in line with Next 15’s strategy of growing its data revenue to 20 per cent of Group revenue in the next five years.  HPI brings both talent and a history of high quality market research. Meanwhile Morar has developed a technology platform, which provides an end-to-end market research capability for its clients which enables quicker and more accurate research. We believe that a combination of HPI’s team and established client base with Morar’s technology platform will create a better solution for HPI’s customers and enable Morar to reach new customer segments.”
