The United Kingdom of Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland) and Northern Ireland is Europe’s third most populous country, and second in terms of economy. The British economy boasts a strong service sector (79.2% of total GDP), with financial services a particular strength.

Britain’s 2016 decision to leave the European Union has led to a long period of economic uncertainty that is likely to continue for some time, as the UK attempts to define new relationships with the rest of Europe and other major trading partners.

For companies based in the USA and other English-speaking countries, the UK is a natural starting point for a European market research program. London is by far the largest market research center, but Meenthe also organizes focus groups and other types of research in Birmingham, Liverpool, Sheffield, Bristol, Edinburgh, Manchester and Newcastle.
