‘Making it in the 21st century’ presents some interesting regional findings which bear relevance to the crafts sector in Northern Ireland. For example, based on a body of research, the report makes a number of estimates that some 32,000 makers generate a turnover for England and Wales for 2003 of £826 million, which is greater than the fishing division, the forestry and logging division, the manufacture of motorcycles and bicycles or the manufacture of sports goods.
