TRA managing partner Sydney Terri Hall said the new hires mark a clear growth trajectory for Sydney’s office.

"Our mission is to use our understanding of human behaviour to identify growth opportunities for our clients. For us to do this we need smart and passionate thinkers; a team of experts who use their different perspectives to reveal unique and uncommon insights that drive change and success for our clients," Hall said.

"We have found all this and more in this group of exceptionally talented people and I’m thrilled to welcome them to the team.”

Busfield said TRA has built an incredible reputation for delivering insight-driven strategies that create real impact.

"I’m excited to join a team that thrives on curiosity and diverse thinking, and I look forward to partnering with our clients to uncover new opportunities for growth," Busfield said.

Hall said people are at the heart of research.
