Lucy Hobbs

Director, Boxclever Consulting

United Kingdom

Lucy has enjoyed working at the qualitative coalface for nearly 30 years. She started her career client side at Royal Mail, but quickly realized she would have more fun on the other side of the mirror. She has worked at a number of different research agencies of varying shapes and sizes. Since moving from London to Leeds 19 years ago Lucy has worked in senior insight roles at Principles Research and Nunwood Consulting (now part of KPMG consulting). Lucy has been a Research Director at Boxclever Consulting for the last few years. By looking with curiosity at the world and it's people Lucy is on a continual quest to explore human behaviours; always endeavouring to make sense of what people think, say and do. In doing so she unearths human truths, creating vivid and impactful stories for brands and businesses
