The strategic, insight, innovation and product consultancy work runs from our Mission Kitchen, London headquarters, where the senior team is based and where clients come for project meetings, workshops and readouts. The fieldwork at scale runs from our NOTED Fieldwork facilities at Bury St Edmunds (East of England) and Birmingham (Midlands), where the dedicated recruit, viewing, kitchen and group infrastructure supports consumer fieldwork across multiple commercial channels.<\/p>\n<p>The two operational halves serve two different but connected commercial needs. Brands engaging FIS Group for strategic insight, innovation or product consultancy work get the integrated senior team running their project from Mission Kitchen, with fieldwork at scale delivered through NOTED Fieldwork facilities when the project needs it. Brands engaging NOTED Fieldwork directly for fieldwork commissioning get the dedicated NOTED team running the recruit, viewing and consumer fieldwork operationally, without the strategic consultancy wrap. The split makes the right route obvious depending on what you need.<\/p>\n<p>The architectural relationship is straightforward: NOTED Fieldwork is the dedicated fieldwork sub-brand within FIS Group, with its own dedicated team, operational specialism and external website. It is not a separate company or a partner. It is the structural division of FIS Group that handles fieldwork at scale, with its own buyer journey for clients who want fieldwork specifically rather than the broader FIS Group strategic engagement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"text-image-split__image-wrap\">\n                                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/fisgroup.mastersofbrands.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hotel-dining-1024x1024.avif\" class=\"text-image-split__image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fisgroup.mastersofbrands.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hotel-dining-1024x1024.avif 1024w, https:\/\/fisgroup.mastersofbrands.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hotel-dining-300x300.avif 300w, https:\/\/fisgroup.mastersofbrands.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hotel-dining-150x150.avif 150w, https:\/\/fisgroup.mastersofbrands.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hotel-dining-768x768.avif 768w, https:\/\/fisgroup.mastersofbrands.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/hotel-dining.avif 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>                    <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"fis-block-title-text-split-block_fe72a8b2529c9a53b6986e90f223105e\" class=\"fis-block-title-text-split cs--blue-white-white\" >\n    <div class=\"title-text-split__inner resp-width-cont\">\n\n                    \n                                    <div class=\"title-text-split__col title-text-split__col--title\">\n                                                    <h2 class=\"title-text-split__title\">The FIS Group headquarters<\/h2>\n                                                                    <\/div>\n\n                \n            \n                                    <div class=\"title-text-split__col title-text-split__col--text\">\n                                                    <div class=\"title-text-split__body\"><p>Mission Kitchen is our central London base and the operational headquarters of FIS Group.

If you are commissioning a strategic insight programme, an innovation workshop or a product testing project, the right route is FIS Group, with NOTED Fieldwork delivering the fieldwork components of the engagement as part of the integrated team. If you are commissioning fieldwork specifically (recruit, focus group facilities, kitchen access for product testing, in-context fieldwork) without the broader strategic consultancy wrap, the right route is NOTED Fieldwork directly. The two routes do not compete because they serve different commercial needs.<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                                                <div class=\"dynamic-content-block__item dynamic-content-block__item--content\">\n                                                            <div class=\"dynamic-content-block__content wysiwyg\">\n                                    <p><strong>What NOTED Fieldwork delivers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Consumer recruit at scale across UK demographics and consumer segments<\/li>\n<li>Focus group viewing facilities at both Bury St Edmunds and Birmingham locations<\/li>\n<li>Purpose-built kitchen facilities for product testing, sensory work and recipe development<\/li>\n<li>Group space for co-creation, workshops and stakeholder sessions<\/li>\n<li>Qualitative and quantitative fieldwork delivery infrastructure<\/li>\n<li>Operational specialism in food and drink fieldwork specifically<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                                <\/div>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                                                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"fis-block-centred-text-simple-block_30b82efcf6ae8dcc3f8e77e161c4a800\" class=\"fis-block-centred-text-simple cs-cream-dark-dark\" style=\"padding-bottom: 0px;\">\n        <div class=\"centred-text-simple__inner resp-width-cont\">\n        <div class=\"centred-text-simple__content\">\n\n                            <div class=\"centred-text-simple__body\">\n                    <h2>Our NOTED Fieldwork Facilities<\/h2>\n                <\/div>\n            \n            \n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"fis-block-text-image-split-block_3031b1781ef29c410f9ce89ce39d745b\" class=\"fis-block-text-image-split fis-block-text-image-split--image-left cs-cream-dark-dark\" style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;\">\n\n    <div class=\"text-image-split__cont resp-width-cont\">\n\n        <div class=\"text-image-split__text\">\n            <div class=\"text-image-split__text-inner\">\n                                    <h2 class=\"text-image-split__heading\">NOTED Fieldwork, Bury St Edmunds<\/h2>\n                                                    <div class=\"text-image-split__body\"><p>Our East of England fieldwork facility, based in Bury St Edmunds.
