RED C
RED C is a market research and polling company in Ireland.
It is most widely known for its political opinion polling (though most of its business is market research, with several large corporate clients).[1] The Sunday Business Post publishes a monthly RED C poll tracking the support for Irish political parties.[2]
RED C was founded in 2003 by CEO Richard Colwell[3] who had previously worked in London for Research International and ICM Research, followed by Lansdowne Market Research in Dublin.[4] As at 2016, Red C Research and Marketing Ltd was owned (via holding company RSV Ventures Ltd) by its directors, with Colwell being the majority shareholder.[5]
The company’s headquarters are in East Point Business Park in Dublin.[6] The company opened a call centre in Dundalk in 2006,[7] and a London office in 2016.[5]
