Captains of Industry Survey
Ipsos's annual Captains of Industry study offers organisations unique insights from one of the country’s most highly influential groups.
Client context
As the only survey of its kind offered in the UK, the Captains of Industry study is the authoritative source of opinion from Britain’s most senior business leaders. The study has been running for 39 consecutive years.
Responsible for such a large proportion of the UK economy, Britain’s most senior business leaders have tremendous power to shape both the corporate and political worlds, but finding out what they think can be very difficult.

Over the last four decades, we have interviewed many of Britain’s most prestigious business people every year to examine their changing views of what is shaping British industry.

- understand Captains’ disposition towards your organisation and how you can shape it
- benchmark against your competitors and other organisations
- evaluate the effectiveness of your communications and business relations
- gain insight into topical issues affecting your organisation and wider sector
- pinpoint areas for improvement and plan future communications strategies.
