Hello all. I've been asked whether there are any resources of independent reviews of large companies (Tesco/Toyota were the examples I was given, although he's looking for more than just those two). The enquirer mentioned Harvard Business Reviews but it's for a university project rather than anything corporate, so he can't afford large annual subscriptions.

I'm directing him to his university's library in the first instance, in case they subscribe to anything helpful, but just wondered whether anybody has any suggestions in the meantime. He's a distance learner, so it could be a while before he can get access to the university library.

I've scanned through the last couple of years' postings and come across the likes of Mintel, Keynote, N2Check, and Companines House, but don't really have the time to fully investigate the resources and prices of each. I am just seeking some guidance based on the enquirer's requirements (esp. cost).

The course provider is Leicester University, in case that's helpful.

Many thanks,

Richard.
