The new team charged with preparing TNS Ilres for the challenges of the new decade will from now on be composed of three members:

• Henk van Erp, aged 48, client service director of TNS NIPO (NL), will be charged with a consulting mission to reinforce the position of TNS in Luxembourg.

Luc Biever, married, was born on 11 July 1970 in Luxembourg. He holds a degree of Applied Geography from the University of Trier and joined ILReS Market Research as a researcher on 1 May 2001, before being promoted senior researcher in 2003 and director of studies in 2005.

Charles Margue, a married father of three, was born in Luxembourg on 4 April 1956. Holding degrees in Sociology, Political Science and Demography from the University of Paris, he began his career at ILReS Market Research in October 1985, first as a freelance researcher, then as a staff researcher and finally as a director of studies.

Henk van Erp, a married father of three, was born in the Netherlands on 6 February 1962. He began his professional career with Research International NL, where he occupied numerous posts of responsibility at commercial management and development of activities levels. In 2006 he became acting managing director of RI Belgium.

After the integration of RI into TNS in the Netherlands, he then went on to become senior client service director of TNS NIPO, shareholder of TNS ILRES.
Henk van Erp thus will ensure the direct relation with the global TNS network.
