ECM (electrocomponents plc) is a good one for gauging SSP's market trends as it's capped at £1.2bn.
In their latest results they stated that turnover increased slightly abroad but fell in the uk, with both's profit margins being tighter... does not really bode too well for ssp as they are predominantly in the UK.
Guidance was not that bright either... they seem to be doing a similar thing to SSP and armouring themselves for a long battle - taking things into their own hands rather than hoping the market will turn around.
