Government Social Research
Sue Duncan
Sue Duncan has been awarded a Fellowship of the Market Research Society (MRS). She has been singled out as a 'laudable ambassador for social and marketing research', who has been 'committed to promoting MRS and its Code of Conduct, and to strengthening the professional identity and standing of research in government'.
At the MRS Awards Dinner on 25 October 2005, UK plc - represented by Sue Duncan as Chief Government Social Researcher - was nominated for the research client of the year. The Government Social Research service was described as 'an efficient and supportive model... this structure ensures that various parts of government have the freedom to conduct and tailor their own research, but still have the backing and leadership provided by Sue Duncan.' The research client of the year winner was the London 2012 Bid Team.
Sue Duncan was described as 'the most creative civil servant…for a century.'
