National Business Survey, July 2009 - South East England results

The National Business Survey is a large scale business survey conducted across all sectors of the economy in England and Northern Ireland. The survey is conducted on behalf of English Regional Development Agencies and Invest Northern Ireland.

All interviews are carried out by telephone, with someone in the business most knowledgeable about the overall performance of the business. Public sector businesses are excluded. Data is weighted by region and business size to reflect national profile.

Within the South East, the data is also weighted by county to reflect the regional profile. Fieldwork was conducted in May and June 2009 and the final achieved sample size was 949 across the South East. In this way, survey questions asking for estimates “over the past year/12 months” refer to activity since May/June 2008, and questions asking for estimates “in the next year/12 months” for predicted activity to May/June 2010.

This is the third wave of the National Business Survey, with the two previous waves having been released in August and December 2008.
