Manufacturing Barometer Survey Q2 2013

I heard that the MAS manufacturing barometer survey is now regular reading in Vince Cable’s red box.  The latest one paints quite a good picture showing that English manufacturing SMEs are ready to invest.  They are very keen on investing strategically – meaning Innovating to Grow and planning their businesses more strategically.

As a registered MAS consultant I help business do just that.

  • Half of the 682 firms questioned are planning to invest in new machinery and premises
  • 67% are predicting future increases in sales turnover – highest recorded since survey began
  • 82% of firms have gained new sales as a result of introducing new products or services in the past two years
