The South West’s manufacturers have seen a strong start to 2022 and are leading the country in job creation, a new survey reveals.
The latest quarterly Manufacturing Outlook survey from manufacturers organisation Make UK and business advisory firm BDO shows the region’s factories were buoyed by very strong domestic orders - the highest level of any UK region.
And overseas orders also remained strong as a reflection of world markets which have rebounded throughout the course of the past 12 months.
