Meet The Team
From The Beginning
Ingenium Research was established in June 2017 by Andrew License and Anna Edwards to continue the important work in the Night Time Economy and other industries from an Australian base, following their relocation to Melbourne in 2015.
In early 2018, Terry Bevan joined the team as a Director and provides valuable insight and contributions to projects. We collaborate with a number of partners and associates in Australia and abroad.
