Sixty-two of the 352 retail businesses trade in specialist rather than general stock — six antique dealers, three conservators, four furniture restorers, six craft-supply shops, three artisan potters, four mobile-phone repairers. Guernsey Cans at Sausmarez Manor is the last working coppersmith making traditional Guernsey milk cans. —
Eighteen makers — three ceramicists, a sea-glass pair, a candle duo, and a St Sampson blacksmith forging gates for Sausmarez Manor.
Fifteen makers and shops on the Bailiwick — Creasey's haberdashery dates to 1899; the newest, Sew Much Fun on Alderney, opened 2014.
Thirteen dealers, restorers, and auctioneers — six antique dealers, three furniture restorers, two auction houses.
Six repairers on the island — from a 1988 brown-and-white-goods workshop to a 2025 shop offering micro-soldering and 3D-printed parts.
Four studios: a picture framer, a photo-print house, a furniture restorer, and a fine-art conservator for oils and gilded frames.
Three specialists: a piano tuner covering all Channel Islands, and two guitar workshops — Kendall (2004) and Grizzly (2010).
