DJS Research Ltd

There’s no getting around the fact that 2020 has been an extraordinary year. Since March, Coronavirus has impacted every area of life and like everybody else, we’ve had to respond pretty quickly to working in new ways. Our kitchens and living rooms have become our offices, board room meetings have gone digital, and we’ve been catching up with clients and colleagues via video apps. Despite the challenges and uncertainty, however, our company has adapted well to the crisis and we’re proud to say we still have all of our permanent staff in their roles and enjoying their work.

So, this year, for our DJS yearly review, we’re going to look for the positive moments in a crazy year. Believe it or not, there have been quite a few!
