I can just send you the same email address crusty gave me....here you go....mccormick.consumerpanel@mccormick.co.uk

just let them know you would like to join their Schwartz testing panel.

thanks Lizzie - I'll give it a go.... X

I haven't done a focus group but have tested products in fact i'm testing some now. The remuniation isn't much last time I got about £4 for testing to types of premade gravey ( didn't like either) the samples I have now are two of there little bottles of spices ( not telling what they are) But I like them and there will be plenty over to use in the future.What i find is that they will send you an e-mail saying that they have a test and would you be will to take part but It doesn't mean that you will be selected. they normally ask as the package they send will not fit through your letter box.
I do not do these for the cash I just like trying the products.

I did what you said not so long ago lizzie, got an email back from them today.. filled in there survey to join the panel, just have to wait for the form to arrive!

You have now completed our Consumer Information Questionnaire. Before you can become a member of our panel we need you to complete sign and return a Release Form which we will forward to you in the post together with a stamped addressed envelope for you to return it. Once we have received this Release Form we will send you a Schwartz voucher as a thank you for your time.

Yes, I got this email too...Tez. Look forward to this one, it sounds really interesting! Good luck Ruthie, too!

Thanks for the further information Crusty, I am looking forward to it - I love testing new products!!

many thanks Lizzie, just had to fill in a survey from Schwartz - waiting for a letter that I have to sign now.....X

My form and lovely letter arrived today (dated 16th January) and they just asked me to complete and sign and date the permission form to say I was happy to test things and I had no allergies and could the other members of my family also do the same if they also wished to test the products with me....so all four of us did this. They said also in the letter they would send me a "Schwartz product as a thank you for completing the form" so I wonder what that will be? Interesting! thanks again crusty, sounds as if we might be onto a wee winner here!
