Since 1998, Mandis has been the data compiler for 
 

The Sunday Times Mandis Index

This indicator of UK business health has been routinely featured in the newspaper's Business News section

   
Mandis became a preferred source of data for two reasons- 

• minimal lead time between data collection, analysis and publication made possible by the Mandis research process - creating a meaningful commentary on current events and trends

• data is derived from Mandis systematic research activity monitoring actual business circumstances and situations in thousands of individual organisations across all sectors of UK industry. As a result, The Sunday Times has been able to present a picture of what is actually happening in the real business economy month-on-month, in contrast to monitoring and forecasts extrapolated from small samples and data sets.
