If £8m/year is a fraction of a mid-size company cloud budget, I don't think you can class them as "mid-size"

Mid-size in the US is comparable to a large european company, so yeah... mid-size.

I'm with a rather small company (~ 250 people) in the US and we pay about $1,2mm-1,4mm yearly on GCP alone.

Note that in the EU and UK mid-size has a definition: "fewer than 250 employees and a turnover of under €50 million (or a balance sheet total below €43 million)"

Thus by definition that company wouldn't be mid-sized over here anyway.

edit: in-fact after checking even in the US, the IRS for example declares a large business as one with more than 10 million in assets, though there is no set rule like in the EU to be used by other gov orgs.
