We are incredibly proud to share that Bob Qureshi, co-owner of Prevision Research, has been awarded an MBE in the 2026 New Year Honours for services to business, to charity and to cricket.
Bob is widely recognised across the research sector as co-founder of viewing facility i-view London and not-for-profit organisation The Research Club. Through these ventures, he has played a significant role in strengthening connections within the industry, creating platforms for collaboration, and supporting professionals at every stage of their careers.
He is also a co-founder of Colour of Research (CORe), an initiative focused on improving diversity and representation within the research industry.
Beyond business, Bob’s commitment to community impact has been equally significant. As Chair of the Development Board at Surrey Cricket Foundation, he has helped support programmes that expand access to cricket and promote participation at grassroots level.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Bob was instrumental in establishing a viewing facility action group that brought competitors together to share information and ensure businesses could stay informed on grants, relief measures and safety protocols. In recognition of this leadership, he was included in the MRS Research Heroes programme in 2021.
The MBE recognises not only Bob’s entrepreneurial success, but his longstanding dedication to collaboration, inclusion and giving back.
Everyone at Prevision Research is delighted to see Bob’s contribution formally recognised at national level. It is a well-deserved honour for someone who continues to champion both our industry and the communities around it.
