Historically, the UK has thrived from exporting goods globally. The cotton and wool industries in Yorkshire and Lancashire, for example, became wealthy off the back of exporting both cloth and clothes around the world. Allied to those industries were all the subsidiary ones – such as industrial chemicals for dying and washing clothes, and the specialist machinery that weaved fabric or stitched it together. As a result of our global export success, Manchester became the world’s first industrial city.
