Our response to your request is as follows: 1. Typically, Manx Utilities internal reporting refers to Full Time Equivalent (FTE) rather than Headcount. This FTE figure is shown in the table below, along with extrapolated headcount as requested. The figures are further defined into substantive (permanent) and non-substantive (non-permanent - i.e. fixed term, trainee or internship / work experience) roles. Manx Utilities is cognisant of its role as a significant local employer in developing talent and skills for the benefit of the broader Island workforce, and typically hold a number of staff in development roles such as formal apprenticeships or internship roles. Other non-substantive roles are normally linked to specific short term projects. For transparency all figures are included in the response.
