UKplc
Accurately assess the health of UK markets
Through the examination of the collective financial returns of 52,400 companies over a three-year period, the UKplc Survey creates a 'textbook' for economic, strategic and policy planning. Of key significance is the impact of the economic turmoil that first emerged in Q3 2007, which is immediately noticeable in the financial performance and key ratios of many industries.
This unique and comprehensive report presents an incisive commentary, together with key financial performance data, ratios and trends for every major industry sector across the UK. In short, UKplc provides an ideal one-stop financial health check for leading companies in your sector.
How does your company's performance compare to that of your industry, sector and Corporate Britain?
- Identify which sectors of the British economy are performing best by comparing growth rates in sales and profits.
- Evaluate underlying trends in UK sector performance by comparing performance over a three-year period.
- Utilise the report's key gearing and liquidity ratios to gauge whether a particular sector or group of sectors are adequately financed.
- Compare employee performance levels between key sectors of interest.
- Pinpoint those sectors that show the highest and lowest profit margins.
- Distinguish key characteristics of the best and worst performers.
- Analyse and evaluate your company's performance against industry or sector averages over a three year period.
Presenting all the data in a clear, professional, no-nonsense format, the UKplc is divided into a number of distinct sections:
Commentary, UKplc Performance, Sector League Tables, Industry League Tables, Individual Sector and Industry Performance, User Guide and Appendices
