DEPARTMENT
The strategic development of our global business
has led to the creation of international teams in each TNS market,
supported by 4 regional centres for North America, Latin America, Asia
Pacific and Europe.
Our European Team is based in
Brussels/London and comprises a team of enthusiastic executives from six
countries, reflecting the international nature of our work. Our focus
is on the proposal stage, across global, continuous and ad hoc proposals

exciting and demands a high level of commitment.

currently the work involves only the proposal process, the work is
varied in terms of approach - we work on a mix of qualitative and
quantitative, continuous and ad hoc, business-to-business and consumer.
Our work covers both European and Global markets and we frequently
support colleagues on ‘TNS Global Key Accounts’ which are some of the
largest and most high profile global programmes at TNS worldwide.
