Wendy is Head of the Communications, Marketing and Information Services department which promotes and disseminates NFER research and related activities. Wherever possible, research should impact on policy and practice and many of the department’s services are designed to help clients to achieve this aim. CMIS staff can plan media and marketing strategies, including e-marketing, and provide press releases and on-line executive summaries. We also have full publishing service for on-line or print dissemination. The department also runs the Foundation’s website and intranet.

Wendy’s experience encompasses marketing and communication in consumer publishing and in education. Following several years in book publishing as Marketing and Publicity Director at Transworld Publishers, Wendy moved to further education as Head of School, for a large college. There she was responsible for developing higher education programmes in media, publishing and print. For 18 months, she was also in charge of marketing and admissions for the college.
