METHODOLOGY

13,823 qualified U.K. shoppers determined the 2024 Newsweek/BrandSpark Most Trusted Awards winners in 163 individual categories, through 86,736 top-of-mind unaided responses for the brand they trust most in product categories they shop, retailers they shop, and services they use. The brand voted most trusted is listed as Rank #1 and any brand Ranked 1-3 is considered a "Top 3 Trust Leader."Ties are declared when the margin of trust share is less than 3% from another brand.

Respondents were recruited from multiple high quality and independent research survey panel sources and weighted to a national profile to ensure a broad sample representing a true cross section of U.K. adults. Respondents could only contribute one response per category and there was no path for any brand to direct respondents to the survey to influence the results.

The polling of category shoppers, service, and retail customers was conducted via online survey following market research best practices. All voters were screened for participation in the specific category before voting by naming (unaided) the brand they trust most.

The highest share of citations as Most Trusted brand in each category determined the winner. The margin of victory over the runner-up brand must exceed 3% or a tie is declared. Brands must exceed a minimum threshold of 10% of citations to be declared a winner and to be included as a Top 3 trusted brand.
