How big they are
From the accounts filed at Companies House by the print & signage companies in this area. Sole traders publish nothing, so they are counted above but contribute nothing here — which is itself the point: the majority of this craft is invisible to any measure built on filings.

Balance-sheet totals, because turnover is not in small-company filings. Employee counts are averages of people under contract and exclude freelancers, so for a craft that runs on freelance work they understate the real number of people making a living from it.
