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.
Details of the wide range oif studies we have conducted over just the last decade or so can be found in our Capability Statement which can be downloaded from the home page of this website at
