Hello Graeme, Thanks for your feedback. I've never encountered such international differences. The only one that is close is that there are two different supermarket chains called "Netto" here in Germany. But I think that it should be no problem because after a short research on the Internet one can find such differences very quickly and since I'm updating the brands country by country / state by state it should be manageable. I could also add a new column for such information in my table.
