Client perspective:

The Business Ratio Report Series offers a snapshot view of key players within a specific UK industry and relates their performance against others in the sector. The context against which individual company performance can be judged is provided by the well presented introductory overview of the industry at the beginning of the publication. All data appears in a user friendly format, with graphs and explanations provided appropriately.
Unlike many other publishers who set a single high turnover or profit threshold which all companies in all industries must meet in order to be included in the selection, this series identifies the industry norm for each sector and adjusts the entry level accordingly. The result is a more balanced representation.
By using this series in association with the directory UKplc, readers will obtain a comprehensive picture of industry performance. For those who are not accountants, a well structured "User Guide" helps to explain and clarify the relevance of the figures provided and how they may be used to drive corporate strategy.
