Researched Listings and Analysis of Customers, Competitors, & Acquisition Targets for Over 30 Years
In 1993, while conducting a benchmarking exercise for companies within a specific sector, we quickly identified the limitations of the SIC classifications available at the time. Several companies we expected to find in the sector were missing, while others that were listed proved to be irrelevant. Relying on such imprecise data for benchmarking — where like-for-like comparisons are crucial — was clearly going to be problematic. This challenge led to the creation of Merlin Scott Associates Limited. Our team embarked on a mission to research key players across all UK industry sectors, aiming to produce more precise and relevant company listings for each sector.
Today, you can leverage this refined industry sector research to conduct in-depth analyses, rankings, and trend evaluations that accurately capture the dynamics of over 1,000 industries. Our researchers continuously update these lists by checking association memberships, conducting extensive internet research, and incorporating valuable customer feedback. This ensures each sector analysis listing remains accurate, and the company data in the resulting industry reports is refreshed on a weekly basis.
