From the census · Chapter 15 of 16 Read the full chapter →

59 organisations are counted with Manufacturing & Industry as their primary sector — 2% of everything with a sector on record, and the 15th largest of 16. An estimated 79% of the sector is counted, measured against an independent listing rather than assumed.

The 86 listed on this page and the 59 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.

Organisations working in Manufacturing & Industry at all86Counted over all 3,573 active organisations27 more than the 59 that call it their main line — counted in every sector they work in, so sector totals add up to more than the island does.
Manufacturing & Industry organisations with a website of their own64%Counted over all 59 active organisations38 of 59, against 67% island-wide — 3 points below the island rate, the 5th-lowest own-site rate of the 15 sectors where it can be counted. Verified from published evidence; businesses without a web presence are under-represented.

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 29 between them — a concentration of 2.09 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 1 organisation trades on Alderney, Sark or Herm and is counted in the island split rather than on this map.
