Survive and Thrive - Volume IV (2020)

Survive and Thrive 2020 (Volume IV) charts the course that 40 EIC member companies have taken to grow against a backdrop of continued market uncertainty, UK China trade tensions, OPEC disagreements, low or negative oil and gas prices and COVID-19, compounded by very tight margins, fierce competition, and Brexit looming large.

This year we revisit the same eight growth strategies identified in previous years and plot those that have risen and fallen in popularity. The research revealed three further areas that business leaders have found to be key to growth, and hence are included this year for the first time, namely transformation, culture and energy transition.

Survive and Thrive - Volume III (2019)

Survive and Thrive 2019 (Volume III) charts the course that 25 EIC UK member companies have taken to grow against a backdrop of a cautious oil and gas market recovery with tight margins, fierce competition and Brexit uncertainty.

We revisit eight growth strategies identified in previous reports to see if the use of these has risen or fall, as well as putting the spotlight on three areas of vital importance to the UK industry: Brexit, export and scale-up.

Topics covered in this report include: The appetite for UK companies exporting into new regions, the rise of service and solutions, and digital is coming to life while diversification slows.
