Never a Cross Word - Leanne Cross

It’s a thankless job to be the Admin assistant in any busy office, but for the team in Acumen, they really couldn’t do without their Girl Friday, Leanne Cross.

Leanne joined Acumen in 2009 when the company was beginning to strain under the weight of its own success. Hemmed in by a paperwork equivalent of the Amazonian basin, the team needed someone organised and efficient with grace under pressure.

Quickly carving herself out as an indispensable member of the team, Leanne is Acumen’s star pre-checker, ensuring every respondent is exactly on quota, as well as organising the fieldwork team so they can focus on what they do best.

Leanne also played a vital role in the founding and creation of the Pioneer Suite, Acumen’s superb conference and research venue. Now a huge success with projects as diverse as training seminars, media events and hall tests, the company really couldn’t have done without Leanne.”
