New research has highlighted the importance of the manufacturing sector in the North East as the region recovers from the challenges of Covid.
The latest annual survey from manufacturers’ organisation Make UK and accountancy and business advisory firm BDO LLP shows manufacturing accounts for 14% of the region’s output, significantly higher than the national average of 9.6%.
The report analysed the status of industry in the North East over the last 12 months, concluding that it has recovered strongly from the worst stages of the pandemic, with output figures showing it performed better than any other UK region or nation between June 2021 and 2022.
