This study looks at all companies registered in South West England and where their total assets are more than �3,500,000.

South West England is the largest region by area (9,000 square miles) with a population of 5 million in 2016.

The region comprises the counties of Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall; The largest city is Bristol; other cities are Salisbury, Bath, Wells, Gloucester, Exeter, Plymouth and Truro.

The most economically productive areas within the region are Bristol, the M4 corridor and south east Dorset, which are the areas with the best links to London. Bristol alone accounts for a quarter of the region's economy, with the surrounding areas of Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire accounting for a further quarter.

The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the key movers and shakers in South West England's corporate sector.

Only key data has been isolated, particularly the company's net worth and total assets, but also its full name, date incorporated, registered office, activities, shareholders, directors (with date of birth, occupation and nationality) and number of employees.

Two indicators of size are used: net worth and total assets. These are preferable to turnover which is influenced by profit margins and whether the companies are capital or labour intensive.
