COMPANIES INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT
This Business Ratio report analyses, compares and contrasts the most recent financial details covering three or four years for the leading 62 companies in the industry.

However, if firms have published more recent details, these are also included as a fourth year of accounts.
For each company, a full 3-year financial profile is provided, including details of its performance on 25 key ratios. The volume also ranks companies against each other on these performance factors, and league table rankings are provided for each.
