History
Research Associates b2b market research agency was founded by Terry Darlington in 1976. After retiring, Terry and his wife Monica took their dogs and their narrowboat across the English Channel and through France to the Mediterranean Sea. Terry wrote a book about their adventure which was so successful that they then navigated the US Intracoastal Waterway from Norfolk Virginia to the Gulf of Mexico and he wrote a book about that too. Terry followed these up with an autobiography about his extraordinary life. The three books – Narrow Dog to Carcassonne, Narrow Dog to Indian River, and Narrow Dog to Wigan Pier have sold a quarter of a million copies to date. For more information see www.narrowdog.com.
