Manufacturing & Industry

149 active businesses8 niches across 5 sectors

One hundred and twenty industrial firms across five sub-sectors — engineering carries almost half at 53 (16 design, 10 civil/structural, 10 fabrication, 9 marine). Then 24 in warehousing and logistics, 19 plant-hire, 18 manufacturers, 16 in waste and recycling. Eighty-five limited companies; Vale, St Sampson, and St Peter Port hold seventy percent. —

From the census · Chapter 14 of 16 ·DraftRead the full chapter →

62 organisations are counted with Manufacturing & Industry as their primary sector — 2% of everything with a sector on record, and the 14th largest of 16. An estimated 80% of the sector is counted, measured against an independent listing rather than assumed.

The 149 listed on this page and the 62 counted above are different claims, not a discrepancy: this page lists everyone who works in Manufacturing & Industry; 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.

St Sampson and Vale hold 32 between them — a concentration of 2.20 against the same two parishes' share of everything counted. Neither parish is large enough on its own for a quotient to survive one new record, so the block is what the prose names; both cells stay drawn, tabled and exported. 5 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 2 organisations trade on Alderney, Sark or Herm and are counted in the island split rather than on this map.
