 The report builds on the findings from the BFI's 'Screen Business' report, released in Ocotber 2018, which showed that the UK games companies directly employed '''16,140 FTE roles''' and collectively generated '''£2.87bn in GVA'''.
@@ Line 14: / Line 16: @@
 By applying HM Treasury 'Green Book' principles and best practice economic modelling, 'Screen Business' is the single most authoritative economic analysis of the UK games sector to date. Think Global, Create Local uses the same methodologies to futher explore the same underlying data, ensuring robust results at the highest possible standards. As this means no underlying data could therefore be updated, all results in this report relate to the year 2016 and represent a snapshot in time for our sector. It should also be understood that since 2016, the UK games industry has continued to thrive, and that this report reflects that benchmark from which future growth can be reliably tracked.

 Gross value added (GVA) is the measure of the economic value of goods and services. This can be used to compare the economic impact of different sectors or compare the impact of the same sector in different geographic areas. All measures of GVA in this article relate to data originally from the BFI's [https://www.bfi.org.uk/sites/bfi.org.uk/files/downloads/screen-business-full-report-2018-10-08.pdf Screen Business Report (October 2018)]. The [https://www.bfi.org.uk/sites/bfi.org.uk/files/downloads/screen-business-appendices-4-and-5-2018-10-08.pdf methodology of this report] explains how direct and total GVA figures are calculated.
