Selecting an industry can be done by choosing to search for it by clicking on either the Groups or Browse button. The difference between the ‘Groups’ and ‘Browse’ functions is that ‘Groups’ allows the user to select predefined categories of industry or regions, details of which can be found here for industries. We have used the Local Enterprise Partnerships as the predefined geographies for regions . The ‘Browse’ function enables the user to create tailored searches, facilitating more unique and powerful searches.
By searching through Browse the user will be able to select the required industries which are presented using the Standard Industries Classification (SIC) codes. These can be filtered by adjusting the criteria to the 4 digit levels of a SIC code.
By searching using the Group button the user can search using our predefined industry sector clusters.
Once the user has selected the desired industries it will now be necessary to define the region or area within which to search.
There are four options available to the user: Browse, Groups, Radius from address and Drive Time.
By selecting Drive Time the user will see the industry data built around the time it would take to drive to/from a specified location. This is more commonly known as a ‘Travel to Work Area’, or TTWA.
Similarly, by selecting ‘Radius from Address’ the user can search for industries around a specific location to a desired radius in miles.
By selecting ‘Groups’ the user can search using our predefined areas. These areas replicate Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) and Government Office regions.
Finally, by selecting “Browse’ the user can search and create areas of their choosing. By clicking on the first drop down box the user can search and subsequently select by; Country, Government Office region, County/Unitary Authority, Local Authority areas. This allows the user to create unique searches that may be required for regional comparative analysis for example.
