Adjusted operating profit was £8.8m, a 56% increase on six months to January 2017 ( 65% in constant currency).

Stephan Shakespeare, chief executive of YouGov (pictured), said: "We continue to deliver to the goals we set out in our five-year plan. By increasing our investment in technology we are getting more out of our data engine and our profit is growing at a higher rate.

"We have enjoyed a particularly strong first half. Trading during the second half has continued positively. We are accelerating our investment in technology and geographic expansion and remain confident in our prospects for the year."
