Should it be necessary for FMRC Benchmarking staff to contact any participant, this is done via the Coding Centre to maintain confidentiality. We process results and prepare confidential reports for each participant. These are sent to the Coding Centre in a sealed envelope, identified only by code numbers. The Coding Centre adds names and addresses to the envelopes and forwards reports to participants. Each participant receives a bound report outlining the features of the sample group.
Bigger samples are clearly more representative of the industry.
However, in some industries with a small number of firms, a small sample group is not a problem, as it will represent a large proportion of the entire industry. Call us to discuss your own situation, and we'll let you know what we can do for you and your members. Owners can make their decisions and plans, confident in their understanding of the industry's economics. We count many Industry Associations, Buying or Marketing groups among our client base. Some combination of the above Call and discuss your requirements with us.
