Manufacturing sector keeps growing

The UK's manufacturing sector continues to grow with the latest figures showing that it has expanded again after months of success, which has surprised some in the industry, according to an expert.

Neville Hill, an economist at Credit Suisse, told the Financial Times that the positive purchasing managers' index has caught some companies unaware as they attempt to deal with demand.

The positive figures could be great news for people searching for manufacturing sales jobs, as the number of appointments also grew for the second consecutive month, according to the publication.

Rob Dobson, economist at Markit, who produce the purchasing managers' index, added: "UK manufacturing maintained its blistering start to the second quarter. Although production remains well below pre-recession levels, the sector is now recovering its losses at a surprisingly rapid pace."

Wind energy could also help to bolster the UK's manufacturing industry as well, according to The Renewable Energy Centre.co.uk, which said it is worth millions to the country's economy.
