• In-depth discussion with the individuals behind each idea in order to fully understand the potential product
• In-person discussions with knowledgeable individuals in the target market for each product
• Underpinning desk-based research

• Experience of market research in relevant sectors
• An understanding of Health and Safety duties of an employer
