Health & Wellness

509 active businesses80 niches across 23 sectors

Three hundred and ten health-and-wellness firms across 23 sub-sectors — beauty (76) and care services (55) carry forty-two percent. Beauty is hair-heavy with a small cosmetic-aesthetics cluster; care skews toward residential and dementia work. Gyms and fitness (38), 29 mental-health services, and 28 alternative bodywork practitioners follow. —

From the census · Chapter 3 of 16 ·DraftRead the full chapter →

429 organisations are counted with Health & Wellness as their primary sector — 1 in 8 of everything with a sector on record, and the 3rd largest of 16. An estimated 72% of the sector is counted, measured against an independent listing rather than assumed.

The 509 listed on this page and the 429 counted above are different claims, not a discrepancy: this page lists everyone who works in Health & Wellness; the census counts those whose primary sector it is.

A location quotient: this sector's share of a parish against its share of the island. A quotient of one means "the same mix as the island", and should look like nothing. Hatched parishes hold too few of this sector to compare at all, and parishes holding fewer than 30 are drawn and tabled but never named in a sentence — a quotient over a handful moves on one new record.

12 Guernsey organisations in this sector have no parish on record — a real gap, not an exclusion, and the map fills in as verification proceeds; a further 27 organisations trade on Alderney, Sark or Herm and are counted in the island split rather than on this map.
