The Quarterly Economic Survey (QES) is the UK’s largest private quarterly survey of business.

TV CameraStudioMicInterview

Each quarter, over 5,600 businesses – belonging to Chambers of Commerce in every region of the country – participate in the QES. Businesses are questioned on a wide range of issues, including home sales and orders, export sales and orders, employment prospects, investment, recruitment difficulties, cash-flow, confidence and price pressures.

The QES is the first economic indicator of the quarter, published in advance of official figures and other private surveys, and it consistently mirrors trends in the national economy; for this reason the survey is closely watched by policymakers at the Treasury and Bank of England and also by the media.

Locally, the survey is distributed, via post and email to all businesses in Chamber membership. We can expect a typical response rate of 500 businesses – 41% of all Chamber members – making this research the most credible economic indicator available to Doncaster.

The Chamber's policy team are always delighted to answer any queries a member of the media may have on the results and are also willing to participate in interviews on the subject.
