The Saltus team is led by Jon Macintosh and Michael Stimpson. Saltus have been working with Dr Michael Peacey, Senior Lecturer in Economics at Bristol University, who created the Saltus Wealth Index and reviews the methodology and output of the survey. The survey is undertaken by Censuswide, a global market research organisation headquartered in London. Censuswide complies with the MRS Code of Conduct and Esomar principles.
