Regional context
Capital records beside public economic evidence
Company counts use an explicit city-to-region mapping of the directory’s reported headquarters. Workforce and qualification shares use 2021 Census counts for England and Wales; current Jobseeker’s Allowance claimant counts cover all 12 listed regions. These sources describe regional context, not company performance.
