What is The Hub?
'The Hub' as we like to call it, is a database of individuals from a variety of backgrounds in and around London and the M25, who have expressed an interest in taking part in market research focus groups.
Founded by best friends Hayley & Debra, The Hub is a unique and bespoke database that has been carefully filtered over the past 20 years to provide the ideal candidates for qualitative market research focus groups, one to one interviews and related services.
The Hub works differently from traditional research agencies. It is a personal experience - a hub of real people, screened by real people. Our clients value the hard work we put in to make sure each candidate is suitable, and our hub of people enjoy taking part in research about products and services that they are passionate about.

Testimonial's
"I can honestly say that Debra & Hayley are my favourite recruiters by a good stretch. Not only are they a pleasure to work with but they a professional, efficient and incredibly good at what they do.
They provide regular and informative updates, not only giving recruitment progress but also intelligent feedback on the way recruitment is going, any issues that may be arising and their recommended approach to handle these. They have recruited a vast array of different sample types for me, some at incredibly short notice but have never failed to deliver.
All their comms to respondents are polite and professional, they keep very tight records to avoid repeat attendance issues and their turnout rate is one of the best in my experience. I cannot recommend Debra & Hayley highly enough." -Sue Hyde, Head of UK Qual Field, 2CV
"Debra & Hayley have been brilliant since I signed up with them. They never fail to send regular research group emails and if I happen to fit the criteria, they are always prompt in getting back and registering me asap. They have always been great at keeping me up to date and providing all the necessary information needed for the research sessions I go on. I have attended a number of groups and have always found them insightful and enjoyable. I can't thank them both enough and look forward to being given the opportunity to do more research groups in the future. Keep up the good work!" - Richie (Respondent)
"I approached Hayley and Debra because I heard about the market research groups for which they recruit and it sounded interesting. They were happy to add me to their mailing list and send me information regarding any relevant upcoming projects. I liked their attention to detail and their friendly and thorough approach. My experiences with them have been 100% positive; I’ve recommended their services to lots of friends and family and will continue to do so in the future." - Eamonn (Respondent)
"Having an avid interest in market research and study groups I have been on the books of Debra and Hayley for the past 5+ years. Both are very professional with informing me about focus groups coming up and the criteria needed. Both are happy to confirm details if there are any queries and always respond promptly. Payment has always been prompt and there have never been any issues regarding venues or details of projects. I hope to be able to continue with them in the future as the projects I am chosen for are always enjoyable and interesting." - Tracey (Respondent)
‘I have carried out Market Research Projects for Hayley and Debra for many years now and they have given me a variety of interesting Market Researches to participate in over this time. I have always found them both to be very pleasant to deal with and very professional in their capacity as Market Research Recruitment specialists. They are both truly exceptional at what they do as recruiters and conduct themselves in this way at all times. I therefore hope that I have a continued association with both of them in the future on being invited on more Market Research Projects in the future.’ - Robert (Respondent)
