About Karen Smithies

I have over 20 years research experience and I have worked independently as a generalist researcher since 2003.  Prior to working for myself, I worked for a boutique search consultancy and also inhouse for a retail/wholesale/distribution group. 

I have grown my business through client recommendation and repeat business and I am immensely proud to be voted the winner of an Outstanding Service Award by a global blue chip Retailer.

I have built up an impressive client base and work with some of the UK’s leading brands including SME’s, FTSE250 and global blue-chip organisations.
