Market Research Accreditations

Maven Research processes are audited and accredited by Marketing Quality Assurance (MQA). Our Gap Analysis methodology is approved by the British Quality Foundation (BQF) – and we believe it merits some examination to explore how Maven Research might support continuous improvement in your organisation.

Following our previous certification with MRQSA (BS7911) back in 2000, Maven was again one of the first companies to be accredited with the global replacement ISO 20252 in February 2007. This new standard is designed specifically for market, opinion and social research environments at a global level. Maven is proud to have passed the rigorous and regular audit in all aspects of its quality processes.

Maven has had many years associated with this prestigious organisation and last year we had our GAP Methodology officially accredited by the BQF, we achieved the status of a 'Registered Consultancy and Training Organisation. The BQF is dedicated to the promotion and achievement of quality practice and processes

Although it is not possible for any company to be a member of the MRS, all of our key staff are Members or Full Members of the Society, we adhere to its principles at all times.

Maven achieved this certification early in 2003, the processes Maven work within ensure staff receive regular performance reviews to identify internal and external training needs, where appropriate training is provided to ensure staff advancement in up-to-date research techniques.

As an IQCS member Maven offers clients the assurance that individuals involved in the supervision of, and collection of, data will be adequately and appropriately trained and supervised, and their work validated, in accordance with minimum levels specified by the scheme.

We are registered under the DPA and comply fully with the requirements entailed.
