Northwest regional overview THE TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS SECTOR: ENTERPRISE COUNT REGIONAL AND SUB REGIONAL OVERVIEW In Summer 2007, the NWDA Research Team undertook a project to get more accurate data on the region’s sectors. Using four digit 2003 SIC codes, 17 sectors that make up the whole economy were defined, plus two additional cross-cutting industries. Data was sourced from the Office for National Statistics Inter Departmental Business Register, to show the number of enterprises, employees and business turnover for each sector. This report presents the findings and analysis for the transport and logistics sector.
NATIONAL CONTEXT Relative to the region’s working age population 1 , the Northwest ‘hits below its weight’ in respect of the number of enterprises, employees and business turnover associated with the transport and logistics sector. In overall terms, the region contains:
13.3% of England’s working age population. 12.8% of England’s enterprises associated with the sector (compared to 11.8% of other 2 enterprises). 11.8% of England’s employees in the sector (11.4% of other employees). 11.5% of England’s business turnover for the sector (8.6% of other business turnover).
REGIONAL DIMENSION The transport and logistics sector in the Northwest is comprised of 8,690 enterprises, employs 107,755 people and has an annual turnover of £13.2billion. Enterprise size - against this backdrop small enterprises, in the region, employing less than 10 people, play an important role as they:
Represent 88.6% of the sector’s enterprises (87.3% of other enterprises). Provide 17.2% of the sector’s jobs (16.7% of other jobs in the region). Deliver 14.0% of the sector’s business turnover (19.3% of other business turnover).
Change over time – within the Northwest, between 1998 and 2006, it can be seen that the:
Number of enterprises in the sector has fallen by -2.4% (other enterprises = -8.1%). Number of employees in the sector has risen by +44.1% (other employees = +0.7%). Value of business turnover in the sector has risen by +48.6%. (corrected to a 1998 base to account for inflation).
Sectoral comparisons – compared to the NWDA’s other eighteen enterprises areas:
1 2
Ten of the region’s other 18 enterprise areas contain fewer enterprises. Nine of the enterprise areas provide fewer jobs. Eleven of the enterprise areas generate a lower business turnover.
The working age population has been agreed with the Office of National Statistics, see glossary for details. For definition of ‘other’ enterprises, employees and business turnover, refer to the glossary.

Northwest regional overview: The transport and logistics sector DATA NOTES AND GLOSSARY Data/terminology
Source/comments
Other enterprises, employees and business turnover
The term 'other' in relation to the number of enterprises, employees and levels of business turnover refers to the data for all enterprise areas within the region apart from those within the business & professional sector and those in the specific sector which the chapter/paper that is the focus of the paper being read. Consequently, for example ‘other’ for the creative and digital sector is different to the ‘other’ in the food and drink sector report. This affects all of the tables, graphs and commentary in the report.
Data contained in main report:
Office for National Statistics (Inter-Departmental Business Register) is crown copyright material and has been reproduced with the permission of the controller of HMSO.
IDBR
The data analysis has been prepared by Knight, Kavanagh and Page for the Northwest Regional Development Agency.
Enterprise and local unit level data
N.B.: The number of enterprises, employees and turnover are based on extracts from the IDBR at enterprise (business) level. Enterprise information can place data at Head Office level and result in ‘higher/lower’ numbers than might otherwise be expected. This is not, however, consistent across all areas (see also notes on turnover). The alternative is a ‘local unit’ count which reflects the number of enterprises and employees in relation to their actual place of work. See http://www.statistics.gov.uk/idbr/idbr.asp
Standard Industrial Classifications
Sectors have been defined on the basis of 4-digit SIC codes; details can be obtained from the NWDA research team upon request. Because some 4-digit codes span more than one sector, the definitions are only approximate and the data may omit some activity within the sector and include some activity outside of it.
Turnover
At its simplest this refers to the monies going through a company’s accounts. Although turnover has been used as part of the assessment, caution should be exercised in the use of the data. In addition to the company headquarters issue (referred to above) not all companies disclose data on turnover. Turnover data is not a surrogate for profit information. One of the most obvious examples being professional football clubs, many of which have high levels of turnover but few convert this to operational profit. Although turnover data for 2006 is provided at 2006 prices; time series data has been modified to remove the effects of inflation. Consequently all growth or decline reflects real change since 1998.
Working age population
The working age population, for the purposes of this exercise, has been agreed with the Office of National Statistics as males aged 16-64 years and females aged 16-59 years and is shown as a proportion of England’s population aged 16-59/64 years.
Regional Economic Strategy (RES)
The RES is regarded as the blueprint for the region’s economic development. It is the foundation for everything that the NWDA does. The current RES was launched in March 2006 and sets out a clear vision for the region’s economy and identifies specific priority actions to meet the economic challenges and opportunities of the next ten years and to close the economic gap with the rest of England. In the geography adopted for the RES, Halton is incorporated into the Merseyside area.
Nomenclature des Unités Territoriales Statistiques (NUTS)
Nomenclature of territorial units for statistics and statistical regions - for the classification of economic activities in the European Community, these regions were established by Eurostat more than 25 years ago. In the geography used for NUTS data (including GVA), Halton is included in Cheshire.
NOTE: At the time of writing this paper, GVA data was only readily available for NUTS areas and even then had gaps in its coverage due to SIC coding issues. This factor combined with the incompatible geographies used in the NUTS and RES data led to the decision that sectoral and industry GVA figures will be produced as supplementary information for RES based geographies in 2008.

Northwest regional overview: The transport and logistics sector PERFORMANCE RELATIVE TO POPULATION OF WORKING AGE The following charts and data illustrate an alternative perspective to that shown above. For example, they highlight the fact that although Greater Manchester and Greater Merseyside appear to be the driving forces of the region, they do not always make the most significant contribution. The key question, at regional and sub-regional level, being ‘does the area hit above or below its weight relative to the size of its working age population?’ Population The first diagram highlights the regional and sub-regional population of working age and provides a context for the charts that follow. For example, the Northwest is home to 13.3% of England’s population aged 16-59/64 years and 5.1% are resident in Greater Manchester.

Northwest regional overview: The transport and logistics sector In terms of ‘hitting above or below their weight’, for this sector, it can be seen that:
Cheshire (including Warrington) - hits above its weight in terms of the number of enterprises, but below it for the number of employees and business turnover, within the sector. This indicates a large number of small enterprises with low turnover. Cumbria – hits above its weight in terms of the number of enterprises, but below for the number of employees and business turnover, within the sector. This indicates a large number of small enterprises with low turnover. Greater Manchester – hits below its weight for the number of enterprises, employees and business turnover, in the sector. This points towards relatively few enterprises, small in size, with low turnover. Lancashire (including Blackburn with Darwen and Blackpool) – hits above its weight for the number of enterprises and businesses turnover, but below it for the number of enterprises, in the sector. This points towards large number of small but very successful enterprises. Greater Merseyside (including Halton) – hits above its weight for the number of employees and business turnover, but below it for the number of enterprises, in the sector. This points towards a small number of successful large employers.

Northwest regional overview: The transport and logistics sector Sub-regional perspective The following table provides a sub-regional summary of the data in a number of different ways for each of, the number of enterprises, employees and turnover associated with the sector:
Firstly, it provides a national percentage share of working age population; this is then used as a base index rate of 100. Secondly, it provides percentage rates for the sector and relative index scores. Thirdly, it provides comparator figures for other enterprise areas.
For example, 1.7% of England’s working age population is resident in Cheshire. Consequently, for the sector to pull its weight Cheshire would have 1.7% of enterprises. In reality, 1.9% of the sector’s enterprises are based in Cheshire, this represents an index score of 111.8 ([1.9/1.7] x 100). A score above 100 indicates that the sub-region performs better than one would expect, whilst a score under 100 indicates a performance below its weight. Cheshire (including Warrington) is home to: 1.7% of England’s working age population (100.0). 1.9% of enterprises in the sector nationally (111.8) and 1.8% of other enterprises (105.9). 1.4% of employees in the sector nationally (82.4) and 1.9% of other employees (111.8). 1.2% of business turnover in the sector nationally (70.6) and 1.8% of other business turnover (105.9). Cumbria is home to: 0.9% of England’s working age population (100.0). 1.3% of enterprises in the sector nationally (144.4) and 1.3% of other enterprises (144.4). 0.7% of employees in the sector nationally (77.8) and 0.6% of other employees (66.7). 0.6% of business turnover in the sector nationally (66.7) and 0.4% of other business turnover (44.4). Greater Manchester is home to: 5.1% of England’s working age population (100.0). 4.6% of enterprises in the sector nationally (90.2) and 4.1% of other enterprises (80.4). 2.9% of employees in the sector nationally (56.9) and 4.5% of other employees (88.2). 2.6% of business turnover in the sector nationally (51.0) and 3.3% of other business turnover (64.7). Lancashire (including Blackburn with Darwen and Blackpool) is home to: 2.8% of England’s working age population (100.0). 3.0% of enterprises in the sector nationally (107.1) and 2.8% of other enterprises (100.0). 2.6% of employees in the sector nationally (92.9) and 2.3% of other employees (82.1). 3.5% of business turnover in the sector nationally (125.0) and 1.6% of other business turnover (57.1). Greater Merseyside (including Halton) is home to: 2.9% of England’s working age population (100.0). 2.0% of enterprises in the sector nationally (69.0) and 1.8% of other enterprises (62.1). 4.2% of employees in the sector nationally (144.8) and 2.1% of other employees (72.4). 3.6% of business turnover in the sector nationally (124.1) and 1.4% of other business turnover (48.3).

Northwest regional overview: The transport and logistics sector PERFORMANCE AT LOCAL AUTHORITY LEVEL Number of enterprises In the region as a whole, the areas which have highest number of enterprises within the sector include Bolton, Liverpool, Manchester, Stockport, Trafford, Wigan. These areas have between 306 and 445 enterprises in them. In all cases the larger numbers of enterprises can be linked with highly dense areas of population, as the areas have populations of between 4,200 and 10,600 people per square mile. Number of employees The area with the highest number of employees is Liverpool, with between 10,671 and 30,535 employees working for enterprises within the sector. Large areas of the region have a relatively small number of employees in this sector. Scale of turnover In only two local authorities do average turnover levels for enterprises, within the sector, reach between ÂŁ825million and ÂŁ3.3billon, these are Liverpool and Rossendale. The data for Liverpool suggests that the area may have a large number of large/profitable enterprises. In Rossendale, there are a small number of medium sized enterprises that contribute to a high overall business turnover level.

2. The economy as a whole experienced growth between 1998 and 2006. This, however, reflects a mix of growth and decline in different sectors; as one of the areas of growth was the business and professional sector and its removal from the overall dataset creates an artificial picture of slight decline. Consequently time series data for other sectors has been excluded from the analysis as its inclusion would be misleading. 03-016-0708 http://www.kkp.co.uk
