Horn Publishing in the UK
It is the 79th largest country in the world, roughly comparable in size to the American state of Oregon, encompassing a minute fraction of one per cent of the earth's land area.

Our publications featuring the UK are part of a series in which we identify, characterize and assess the strengths of key industries, country by country. Each publication is typically divided into two sections: editorial, covering the history, recent developments and technology of the sector, and commercial, presenting many of the companies that made it all possible.
The aim is to generate direct inquiries to our profiled companies while enhancing their brand image. In the process, we also help you find the companies you are looking for, pinpoint the business information you need... and highlight your own company so that others will find you.
We attend all the major international industry exhibitions and trade fairs, where we hand out thousands of our beautifully produced books for free – a most effective way of targeting the important people that our profiled companies want us to reach. Our books are also distributed free of charge to chambers of commerce, embassies, industry organizations, government, and more... and are of course always accessible in electronic form at this website, together with links to all our clients.
Although offshore production peaked in 1999, significant volumes are still being recovered and the UK remains a major player in the industry. In 2010, the country was still the largest producer of oil and second-largest producer of natural gas in the European Union, while the sector contributed more than £14 billion to government revenues and supported some 450,000 jobs.
According to the British government agency UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), the UK's life
sciences market - comprising biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, healthcare and medical technology - is "among the strongest and fastest-growing in the world, with an outstanding track record in drug discovery, a strong academic base and increasing Government support for R&D through investment and tax credits".
