For 20 years the Centre for Economics and Business Research (Cebr) has supplied independent economic forecasting and analysis to hundreds of private firms and public organisations. Our predictions have a strong track record of forecasting accuracy at international, national and even company level, placing us consistently in the top handful of UK economics teams and winning us awards and headlines. We continue to find new customers despite on-off UK recession and weak trading conditions and our clients grow with us.

Boards use our analysis to help make strategic, financial, commercial and resourcing decisions. We are employed by big international firms, banks, professional bodies and government departments to give them the foresight they need to make plans. We also work for charities, unions and small to medium sized businesses.

Cebr founder Professor Douglas McWilliams was Chief Economic Adviser to the Confederation of British Industry and IBM. He wanted Cebr to be a powerful business tool for commerce and made sure the consultancy offered a full suite of macroeconomic and microeconomics services. Since then we have branched out and currently advise law firms, banks, accountancy and insurance firms, firms in construction, housing, rail, new technology, communications, recruitment, and two of the four major supermarkets. Our attention and analysis is directed both globally and locally.
