• In terms of precise sizes of workplaces, the results cannot be wholly relied upon. However, they can provide a proxy for the geographical location of particularly large aerospace manufacturing workplaces.


• For example, the average number of workers employed at aerospace manufacturing sites in the East Midlands is far larger than those elsewhere. This suggests that there are large concentrations of manufacture employees in this region, which in this case is represented by the workforce at Rolls Royce.


• The geographical distribution and relative density of UK aerospace workplaces is shown by the charts above and below. As to be expected, the geographical distribution of workplaces follows the same pattern of aerospace companies themselves.

• It is useful to understand the number of workplaces within the aerospace sector overall, in order to assist in the mapping of the sector for organising and campaign purposes.
