A KPMG/Economist Intelligence Unit survey, focusing on the middle-market sector, which accounts for 40% of the UK economy, has discovered high levels of confidence among the country’s business leaders.
Six out of 10 of those questioned were upbeat and confident saying their business prospects over the coming year are ‘good’ or ‘very good’.
The survey found that middle-market companies believe they have the edge over larger businesses because of better customer service, innovation, quality of products and workforce and cost efficiency.
“The survey results are very inspiring,” says Mel Egglenton, KPMG’s head of middle-market. “They demonstrate the high quality, pragmatic management of middle-market firms and the ability of their boardrooms to adapt to a tough business environment.”
