This is precisely the reason why that column is there -- it's to show
that the PostgreSQL project has international support.  It's not aimed
at advertising a company's service area; if people want that, they can
click on the logos, or use the Professional Services search.

The Sponsors page is also quite clear that only the HQ country of each
company is listed.  Nobody thinks that Red Hat or Google is only in the
USA; your worry that people will think that 2Q is UK-only on that basis
is quite unfounded.

Again, you're confusing the Professional Services page with the Sponsor
page.  The two serve quite different purposes.
