The panel will help shape future product development

Outdoor brand Berghaus is looking for enthusiasts to help it in its consumer research.

The Sunderland-based company has begun a search for members of a panel to help it make decisions ranging from products to marketing and corporate responsibility.

Anyone interested in becoming a consumer panel member is asked to fill in an online survey first.

Berghaus will then contact successful applicants, who will have a chance to win prizes from the company.

The company said the short survey should be completed as accurately and honestly as possible and anyone picked will be informed in the near future.
