The UK is a service-based economy. The ongoing trend to outsource, the increasing demand for and use of services in the public and private sectors and the impact of the digital economy continue to drive growth and change across the Support Services’ landscape.

This is leading to both the proliferation of new technologies, which enhance service offerings, and consolidation within the various sub-sectors as participants seek to gain scale and add new proven technologies to their portfolios. It has also given rise to a new wave of IPOs across sub-sectors, such as Legal Services.
