I’m Andrew Skone James

Champagne environmentalist, previously aspiring musician

A little bit of what I do

I joined IFF Research in 2010 and have worked across a wide range of research studies, developing expertise in quantitative, qualitative and evaluation approaches. I currently head up IFF’s Energy and Environment sector, leading research and evaluation on some of the UK’s most pressing challenges, including energy security, affordability, and the transition to net zero. Alongside my client work, I’m part of the team working to reduce IFF’s carbon emissions, while I also organise (and occasionally contribute to) IFF’s annual cricket do.

What I’ve achieved

I’ve been fortunate to work on and lead some of the UK’s largest and most influential social research studies, including the Employer Skills Survey and Graduate Outcomes. A particular highlight has also been establishing and growing IFF’s Energy and Environment sector, turning a long-held ambition into reality when we launched in 2021.
