BCC Research, a Boston-based market research firm, agreed to merge with Futuresource Consulting, a UK-based market research consultancy. Financial terms were not disclosed. "There are strong synergies between BCC Research and Futuresource Consulting which can now be fully realised. The brands share complementary research offerings and together can provide our clients with a greater depth and breadth of research. Futuresource has leading technology expertise, while BCC's strengths lie in the life sciences. These two distinct industries are increasingly interacting with and informing one another, creating opportunities for more robust and expansive research," Craig Ive, BCC Research and Futuresource Consulting Interim CEO and portfolio manager.
