What we have done
Since 1971, Les Winton has undertaken well over 1,000 social and market research assignments for government, industrial and commercial organisations throughout Australia and New Zealand, including some of the largest (and smallest) research studies conducted here.
In founding his own company (then called Artcraft Research) in 1981, Les decided to specialise in communications, marketing and social research, program evaluation and community consultation for the three tiers of government as well as quasi-government and not-for-profit organisations, plus a small number of relevant commercial and industrial projects.
With the growing need for urgent responses to climate change, he changed the name of the company to Winton Sustainable Research Strategies (WSRS) to emphasise its specialisation in sustainability-related issues.
On the following pages are listed many of the projects undertaken in this field since 2001 (a list of studies undertaken by Les and Artcraft Research from 1971 to 2000 is available on request), under the following categories:
