our history

Bristol Focus was established in 1989 by our Managing Director Paul Gooding. We were one of the first facilities to set up outside of London and we remain the only viewing facility based in Bristol. However, the journey started a lot earlier than that. Paul had “grown up” in market research with focus groups being conducted at the family home from as early as 1974.

After an initial career in TV Production he went on to establish a video hire business exclusively for market research. This grew into the viewing facility in 1989 swiftly followed by our other support services. Paul has also advised other viewing facilities throughout the UK. With a unique background of Market Research and Techncial knowledge makes for a unique insight for what’s required.

our ethos

We are only as good as our last job and so we always strive to provide best service. We do this by continual feedback from clients but more importantly acting on it. After all we are in the market research industry so why not practice what we preach?
