Plimsoll provide an easy to navigate, low cost system which enables us to keep an eye on financial movements within our industry and those closely related (at both complete and company levels). Their cost model makes this a far more effective way of analysing data than to collate the same information inhouse. When additional, more granular detail is necessitated, they are quick to get hold of and timely in their responses. When conducting our own financial due diligence assessments of our supply chain, Plimsoll are consistently retained as a value for money, informative product. (October 2023)

We changed over about a year ago from what was basically a credit check service (which really only gave us basic financial information) which I think was really designed for retail businesses to check out their customers before entering into a contract.
As we supply the majority of our products to NHS Hospitals it wasn’t really what we wanted and therefore approached Plimsoll for a trial.
Since then we have already used the service on a regular basis and already re-signed for another year.
We find it invaluable to benchmark our sales and financial performance against the top 1500 UK medical device suppliers, which gives us enormous re-assurance throughout the year that we are either keeping up with the leaders or beating the poor performers.
We like the fact that the reports are updated live throughout the year as those companies post their results and a new analysis is published.
The best part for me is the confidential full accounts analysis we get of ourselves every year, which gives us confidence that our strategy is on track.
Finally another great service are the monthly updates David Pattison sends us outlining any corporate news and trends, which is really useful rather than the basically static service others provide, after the fee is paid.
Give the above I can highly recommend Plimsoll if you are interested in benchmarking your company against your direct focussed competitors which incidentally can be customised. (October 2023)

It’s been a great pleasure working with Plimsoll, I greatly appreciate the time spent by the Senior Analyst to explain the data collection/analysis patiently. I really enjoyed talking with someone who takes great care on data integrity, comprehensiveness and meaningful analysis. I wish Plimsoll continued success for many good years. (November 2023)
