Oxfordshire Business Barometer – issue 15 [April 2015]

Through our collaboration with the Oxford Times, we are able to provide insight and commentary based on interviews with directors and management teams in a 10 page report published quarterly in ‘In Business’ magazine and online.
A wide range of Oxfordshire businesses take part in our short, confidential surveys which are emailed out every quarter. From 2015, a £2 donation will be made to a local charity for every survey completed. Businesses which expressly consent to publicity will also have the opportunity to provide free editorial within the reports.
We would welcome your involvement. If you are based in Oxfordshire and would like to receive our quarterly survey and associated benefits, please email your name, business name and contact details to [email protected]
To find out more, please read our other quarterly Barometer reports or join our LinkedIn group entitled Oxfordshire Business Barometer.
