I encountered the dataset linked here.
Do you know where I might be able to find backup detail for UK firms that are doing more than 10M in turnover? Essentially looking for a table with Company Name, Turnover, SIC, and FTE count so that I can run some analyses myself without the current breakpoints.
We said
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request asking for the underlying data for our UK Business: Activity, size and location publication.
Unfortunately, we are unable to disclose the data you have requested as it is personal information. Section 39 of the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007 (SRSA) renders it a criminal offence to disclose information held by the Statistics Board (ONS) for statistical purposes that would identify a body corporate. As we are prohibited by law from publishing statistics in which individual businesses can be identified, Section 44(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) applies.
We have a data analysis service team who may be able to help with producing aggregated analyses with different turnover ranges. This is available to order. Such services are subject to legal frameworks, resources and agreement of costs. If you would like to request this bespoke dataset, please contact IDBRDAS@ons.gov.uk to discuss your enquiry further. Please note, there will be a charge for this work which would be subject to our charging policy.
