Consumers vote Inmarsat most innovative company in UK

05-06-2009 - Inmarsat has the best reputation for innovation in the UK and is one of the ten most reputable public companies in the country, according to a major survey among consumers.

The Reputation Institute Consultancy's survey of 5,000 adults in the United Kingdom asked respondents to vote on the leading 140 companies quoted on the London Stock Exchange, as part of its Global Reputation Pulse 2009 Study.

Inmarsat came top in the category for innovation - one of seven categories - which recognises a company for making or selling innovative products or innovating in the way it does business.

Unique capabilities
Inmarsat chairman and CEO Andy Sukawaty said: "This is a recognition of the unique capabilities and excellent market perception of Inmarsat.

"As a pioneer of mobile satellite services, the survey acknowledges our leadership position in the industry and specifically the success of the Inmarsat business in delivering innovative services with a reputation for reliability and quality.

"As we approach our 30th anniversary, the survey result reflects the many years of hard work by many people around the world, and we should be rightly proud."

The Global Reputation Pulse 2009 Study was conducted online during January and February. Scores were calculated by averaging perceptions of four indicators - trust, esteem, admiration and good feeling.
