ECONOMIC POLICY CENTREwww.economicpolicycentre.com

The purpose of the the Economic Policy Centre (EPC) is to promote high quality research and debate across all areas of economics in a free democratic society.

Ultimately it brings together economic opinion formers – in academia, business, the media and government – in new and innovative ways.

FUTURE ENERGY STRATEGIESwww.future-es.com

Future Energy Strategies is a new organisation which brings together a unique group of industry analysts to do exactly what the name suggests – provide strategic insight into the future shape of the energy industry in Britain and across the European market. In a world saturated with information, where a multitude of organisations are clamouring for us to buy expensive, often longwinded and sometimes out of date ‘expert insight’, Future Energy Strategies has an ethos which sets it apart from others by seeking to sell distilled information with quality insight which is topical, concise and affordable.

Dan Lewis is Director and owner through the EPC of UKCrimeStats – the UK’s leading independent crime data platform for all published crime data since December 2010, with maps, analysis, comment and reports.
