Manufacturers see sharp rebound in activity

Britain’s manufacturers have seen a sharp rebound in activity in the third quarter of the year, with signs that pent up investment demand has been released, while recruitment intentions have also risen sharply. Commenting, Stephen Phipson, Chief Executive at Make UK, said: “After a period of considerable uncertainty in global markets, these figures are an encouraging sign that manufacturers’ confidence is improving and, more importantly, being translated into growth and investment.”

With best regards
