Britain's supermarkets need a more compelling story

There’s no doubt that Britain’s grocers are down in the dumps. That’s partly down to the falling price of food and changing shopping habits, but a new study published today suggests it could also be a brand problem.

Other top performers include fellow Silicon Valley giants Google and Facebook, and the charities Macmillan and Cancer Research UK.
