LONDON, Jan. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Market research and consulting firm BrandSpark International, in partnership with iconic media brand Newsweek, has released its 2nd edition with the 2024 list of the Most Trusted brands in the UK, as 100% voted on by UK Shoppers. The winning brands were determined in the BrandSpark International UK Trust Study through a consumer survey, aggregating the opinions of 13,823 recent category shoppers who provided 86,736 top-of-mind unaided responses on which brands they trust most. BrandSpark has been measuring trust for 11 years, with robust studies in the United States and Canada.

Program Seal

In the highly competitive British market, primary household shoppers have numerous brands from which to choose. The UK Newsweek/BrandSpark Most Trusted Awards aim to assist consumers in making more informed purchase decisions and brands in communicating to consumers why they should choose their products and services over others. Through extensive research on consumer shopping habits, brand trust health, and consumer market trends since 2001, BrandSpark identified trust as a foundational element in the relationship between brands and shoppers.

The awards program focuses on recognizing and promoting trust as consumers navigate the abundance of choices available. Adam Bellisario, Associate Vice-President of the BrandSpark Most Trusted Awards said, “Our goal is to help the UK shoppers easily navigate an increasingly crowded market of goods and services, and help brands communicate their leadership to consumers.”

This year the winners represent the following segments: Household & Cleaning, Pet Care, Durable Home Goods, Food & Beverage, Beauty & Personal Care, Over-the-Counter Health (OTC), Baby & Kids, Automotive, Restaurants & Retail, and Services. Robert Levy, Founder and President of BrandSpark International shared that “Knowing which brands are trusted the most is important and high levels of trust in a brand are indicative of successfully fulfilling multiple consumer needs such as quality, value, and customer support.”

The Expansion to Top 3 Most Trusted Brands

This year’s UK Newsweek/BrandSpark Most Trusted Awards revealed the top three ranked brands in most categories where sufficient votes allowed. In segments like Household & Cleaning and Food & Beverage, a clear first-place brand often emerged, accompanied by another brand that maintains a significant trust following. Philip Scrutton, Vice President of Consumer & Shopper Insights at BrandSpark International, described that “While observing shifts in the top ranked Most Trusted brand is always intriguing, it’s equally insightful to recognize the second or third brands consumers trust most, showcasing their enduring relationships with consumers. There is also an opportunity for these brands to incorporate trust into their messaging.” 

Notable Winners from the 2024 UK Newsweek/BrandSpark Most Trusted Awards

1. In the highly competitive and innovative Mattress-in-a-Box category, mattress and sleep company “Emma” took the #1 spot for the second time. Emma has successfully leveraged their 2022 win to help them stand out online.

4. Consumer packaged goods giant Procter & Gamble dominates in the UK, Canada, and the USA with the most wins from any manufacturer, 28 in the UK, 27 in Canada, and a whopping 58 in the USA. These wins spanned across Household & Cleaning, Beauty & Personal Care, Over-the-Counter Health, Home Goods, and Baby & Kids. Procter & Gamble’s multinational wins speak to the Company’s global strength to deliver on trust drivers.

How winners are determined

13,823 qualified UK shoppers determined the 2024 UK 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 and 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. Brands must exceed a minimum threshold of 10% of unaided citations to be included in the list. The UK list represents the second year of UK results. The Program is in its 11th year in the United States and Canada.
