Do some research...
Some of the American companies are large, granted, can't find figures on how many computers they have, as for your UK companies...
BP = 80,000 employees worldwide (11,000 UK) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bp
Royal Dutch Shell = 102,000 employees worldwide (8,600 UK) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Dutch_Shell
Rolls Royce = 38,900 employees worldwide (21,000 UK) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce_plc
More than 6 desktop computers per employee at Rolls Royce sounds....
