MRS launches a new Business Sentiment Monitor
02 November 2022

MRS is launching a new bi-annual MRS Business Sentiment Monitor which aims to take a snapshot of business owners’ views on their business, the industry and the UK economy. This will provide us data with which to brief the UK government and will provide comparable statistics against other European countries.

The Business Sentiment Monitor will complement the Annual Survey and the annual MRS League Tables which will continue to be gathered and published each december in the Research Live Industry Report.

Why launch it now?

The UK is facing some significant challenges now and in the years ahead. It is vital that we understand how this is affecting the research and insight sector.  Every week, MRS meets with the UK Government to discuss issues affecting the sector. To aid these discussions it is vital that we have an accurate and up-to-date picture of the industry sentiment including trend data – evidence matters after all. 

Will it provide a global perspective?

The MRS Business Sentiment Monitor builds on the EFAMRO Moodindicator, which MRS has supported for a number of years.  The EFAMRO Moodindicator gathers data from EU businesses which are members of EFAMRO.  By participating you will not only help to provide data about the UK industry, but also enable comparisons with businesses throughout Europe.

How do I participate?

MRS will communicate via email to members how they can be involved. By participating in the MRS Business Monitor, you will ensure that your business view is being reflected in the representations MRS makes to Government, regulators and legislators.
