Our History
GLPOR was founded in 1998 by Oxford University professor John McLain, who continues to serve as the company’s CEO. A significant portion of the company’s employees are Oxford University graduates.
Initially, McLain focused on offering services to advertising and media companies as well as politicians. Additionally, he developed innovative methods for analyzing the success and effectiveness of exit polls during elections to the British Parliament. The first results were remarkable and highly accurate, establishing the firm’s reputation. Following these achievements, the company began conducting public opinion research across the UK. By the late 2000s, it had become the second-largest research company in the UK working with the British Government.
Throughout the 2000s, GLPOR expanded its operations primarily through acquisitions in Spain, Italy, Germany, and France. By the mid-2000s, it had become one of the leading research firms in the UK and embarked on a global expansion. The results of GLPOR’s polls in the UK were regularly published in renowned British media outlets, including The Times, Morning Star, and The Financial Times.
