Research Partnership ranks 12th in fastest growing UK market research agency league  tables

The UK’s best performing market research agencies were revealed this week with the publication of Research Live’s Industry Report for 2021, which includes the latest Market Research Society (MRS) League Tables. Based on available 2020 financial data that was compiled and analysed in November 2021, the MRS league tables identify and rank the best-performing research agencies and businesses according to their UK-based turnover and by their year-on-year growth.

In a very challenging year globally, Research Partnership bucked the trend by achieving an impressive 21% growth against an industry average of 0.8%. Less than half of the top 100 companies reported any growth.

Research Partnership ranked 23rd in the top individual agencies with a confirmed turnover of £40.297m and remains the UK’s largest individual healthcare consulting specialist.

The company ranked 7th in the top 20 fastest-growing businesses and 12th in the top 20 fastest-growing individual agencies.

Joint Founding Director Mark Jeffery commented, “Research Partnership has achieved considerable growth in a very turbulent climate. Fortunately, we were able to pivot quickly to remote working using online methodologies and we responded effectively to increased demand from our clients. Last year, we continued our recruitment drive and increased our headcount from 216 to 250 with appointments made across the US, EU and APAC offices. We also continued to grow both our market research and market access services, and we are winning business from both new and existing clients across the pharmaceutical, medtech and biotech sectors. According to our customer survey, satisfaction with insights and recommendations remained high and we are still delivering the quality service expected of us.”
