--- title: Learn more about recruitment! | Emma Coombes description: Emma Coombes is the Director of Client Services at Angelfish and has been part of the team since 2019. With over 20 years’ experience in market research recruitment, spanning project management, business development and client services, Emma understands exactly what it takes to deliver smooth, successful fieldwork. Often one of the first people clients speak to, she leads feasibility testing, quoting, account management and client relationships. Emma loves getting to know the people behind the brands and helping them bring their research briefs to life with thoughtful, high-quality recruitment. And as the team will tell you, Emma brings just as much personality to the office – often expressed through her trademark leopard print. --- [![Angelfish Fieldwork](https://info.angelfishfieldwork.com/hubfs/2019%20Logo%20PNG.png)](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/) - [About Us](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/about-us/) - [What makes us different](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/about-us/what-makes-us-different/) - [What we do](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/about-us/what-we-do/) - [Meet the team](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/about-us/meet-the-team/) - [Our Community](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/our-community/) - Sectors - [Media](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/our-community/our-community-media-market-research-recruitment/) - [Retail](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/our-community/recruiting-retail-market-research/) - [Charity](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/our-community/charity-market-research/) - [FMCG](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/our-community/market-research-fmcg-sector/) - [Consumer Health](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/our-community/consumer-health-market-research/) - [Audiences](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/audience-research/) - [Baby Boomer](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/participant-recruitment-for-over-60s/) - [Generation Alpha](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/our-community/market-research-with-children/) - [Generation X](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/our-community/gen-x-research/) - [Generation Z](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/market-research-gen-z/) - [Millennials](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/recruiting-for-market-research-with-millennials/) - [Angelfish Opinions](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/about-us/angelfish-opinions/) - [Recruitment](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/research-participant-recruitment/) - [Customer Closeness](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/customer-closeness/) - [Accompanied Shopping](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/accompanied-shopping/) - [Customer Workshops](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/customer-workshops/) - [Digital Ethnography](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/ethnography/) - [Intercept Interviews](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/intercept-interviews/) - [Design Sprints](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/design-sprints/) - [Focus Groups](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/focus-groups/) - [Market Research Online Communities](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/market-research-online-communities/) - [User Experience Testing](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/user-experience-testing/) - [User Research](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/recruitment/user-research-recruitment/) - Our Work - [Case Studies](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/market-research-case-studies/) - [Clients](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/clients/) - [Data Quality](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/market-research-data-quality/) - [Project Showcase](https://angelfishfieldwork.com/showcase/) - [Testimonials](https://info.angelfishfieldwork.com/testimonials) - Insights - [Blog](https://info.angelfishfieldwork.com/market-research-fieldwork-blog) - [Useful Resources](https://info.angelfishfieldwork.com/resources) - [Let’s Talk](https://info.angelfishfieldwork.com/market-research-fieldwork-quote) # Discover our recent blog posts ## Emma Coombes ![Emma Coombes](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e) Emma Coombes is the Director of Client Services at Angelfish and has been part of the team since 2019.
