H&H Webranking UK published

Tuesday, April 07, 2009

Aviva with the score of 71 wins the H&H Webranking UK 2008 after a 12th place in 2007. Second place goes to Vodafone (70) and BP (69.75) comes third. UK companies surprises with a great improvement in the 2008 Webranking.

"Aviva wins the 2008 Webranking since they manage to produce a corporate website that is both extraordinary when it comes to technical features and rich with highly valued information. The website also shows good financial transparency by clearly describing financial targets, target achievement and growth drivers, areas that have gained attention recently”, says Marcus Eriksson, Head of H&H Webranking.

Best press section

The average score for UK-based companies has increased since last year and is today ranked at number 3 out of the 20 countries in the survey, an increase since last years 9th position out of 18 countries.

British companies in general receive high scores for Structure and technology and have the best average score for Press information.

No clear leader

However UK is still lacking a clear leader. There is for example no British company among the top 20 in Europe. Highest ranked UK-company is Aviva, ranked 23rd on the European 150 list.

Challenges for UK-bases companies are mainly in sections such as IR/Financial Information and Corporate Governance.

Climber

Barclays is this years best climber with an impressive 18.5 points improvement. Other companies that improved their score significantly from last year are Morrison Supermarkets (+12.5), and the winner Aviva (+10.75)
