Industry reports are written by analysts who research sources such as government reports, industry associations, company financial statements etc to provide information on leading companies, new entrants, key suppliers, market trends and the economic environment in which the industry operates. Reports are regularly updated to ensure that the information is current and accurate.
National (government) statistics are available online from the ONS National Statistics pages.
Companies produce a range of documents that can include annual reports, research documents and press releases. These are usually available from their own website. You may also require key financial data and statistics, or perhaps are looking for independent research on a company's performance. It is also worth looking at the market report for the sector in which the company operates for analysis of external factors influencing the business. This information will help you analyse how organisations operate, and what makes them successful, their strategies and styles of management. Use Companies House website to find the data submitted by companies themselves to the government.
