Growing Pressure On Private Sector Defined Benefit Pension Schemes
According to new research conducted by MORI for the National Association of Pension Funds (NAPF), the rate of closure of private sector final salary schemes has slowed considerably.

Out Of Town Shopping
Research conducted by MORI for King Sturge, on behalf of The Accessible Retail and Shopping Park Investors Forum has found that the likelihood among consumers to visit out of town shopping facilities over town or city centres appears to be influenced by whether people drive and whether they have a car in their household. However the decision is also determined largely by the type of goods being purchased. The research was conducted to better understand the use of transport in relation to various types of shopping and non-shopping related journeys and to look at the behaviour and attitudes of consumers with regard to different retail offers.
