Who are Sheffield's largest employers?

Who are Sheffield's largest employers and can you provide links/evidence/numbers to back up your claims?

 

I think the council is probably number 1 followed by (i'm guessing) the NHS and then the 2 Univeristies.

 

Any one know the top 10? Top 5?

The Government!

 

Department for Work and Pensions, Jobcentre Plus, Inland Revenue, Home Office, DVLA, Small Business Service, Department for Skills and Education all have a significant presence in Sheff ... and that's the ones i can think of off the top of my head.

Sheffield is the base of HSBC's IT community + a number of back office functions. All in all they employ well over 6000 in the Sheffield area.

[Elphi 24 10]

Sheffield University employs around 5500 staff across a wide range of disciplines - not sure how many Hallam Uni employ

[MrH 11]

Norwich Union? Outokumpu aka Avesta Sheffield?

[LoopyLou 10]

Not Norwich Union, they have about 1600 people in sheffield at any one time....

 

They have quite high turn over though, if you count people in sheffield who have EVER worked at Norwich Union in the past, then it would be more like 50,000.............

i believe Hallam have about 6000 staff, but I'll have to double check that. (I'll go and count them all)

I thought it was the NHS

[STHT 10]

It's the council (about 14-15,000 staff I think) followed by us at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (12,500). They're the two biggest employers in South Yorks as well now following the downsizing of the major industries.

Having worked there for a mere 2 weeks this comes as no surprise to me.

 

I would NEVER buy any products from them.

Well this page also claims the the council is S. Yorkshire' largest employer.

 

If we take STH as number 2 then this page

claims that Sheffield University is the 3 largest employer in the city.

 

If that is so I guess we can assume that Hallam Univeristy is fourth.

 

Hmm. Not sure how the civil service/ NHS fits in to all this.

 

Anyway that gives us a top 4 of :

 

1) The Council

2) STH

3) Sheffield Uni

4) Hallam Uni

 

.... or do you know better?
