Manufacturing sales recruitment 'to be hit by low output'
The manufacturing sales recruitment industry is set to be affected by the weakest output in the sector for thirty years, it has been revealed.
According to the latest Confederation of British Industry (CBI) Industrial Trends Survey, firms' perceptions of total order book levels remain the same as for October and due to low demand, manufacturers' inventories have built up to their highest level since December 2001.
The study goes on to say that output expectations are their lowest since 1980 as a result.
Ian McCafferty, chief economic adviser at the CBI, said: "With a sharper and more prolonged UK recession in prospect, conditions are going to remain tough for some time.
"A slowing global economy, particularly in the eurozone, makes the immediate benefits of a weak pound fairly muted for exporters."
Earlier this week, the World of Learning claimed legislating time for training is vital for companies in the current economic climate as the financial situation means developing and retaining the vital skills and knowledge in people that will grow their business becomes crucial.
