Make UK has shared the latest report. 

Manufacturing Outlook 2024 Q1

Make UK's latest report Manufacturing Outlook 2024 Q1 - in partnership with BDO - is out now. Its findings suggest sector growth will remain flat this year and increase by 0.8% in 2025, just half the forecasted rate for the economy overall. Despite this, confidence levels among companies remain robust with investment and recruitment intentions holding up.
