The UK manufacturing sector expanded at a faster pace in January following a modest recovery in export orders, a closely-watched survey has indicated.
The latest Markit/CIPS Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 53 from 52.7 in December. A figure above 50 indicates growth.

Orders from both home and abroad came in faster last month, the survey showed, with the new export orders index at a five-month high.

Not quite, given that it was in growth around 46 in 2012.
Not so well done Dave. Not so well done George.
?
46 in 2012 and now 53 at begining of 2015. is this not good news? are you not happy our economy is the best performing out of all G7 nations?
Well saying the report says this Cheaper oil led to a sharp drop in costs for companies, the survey found.
Markit said the lower costs led to factories cutting their prices for only the second time in the past five years., So nothing to do with dave and George, lets not forget when oil prices and energy cost go up they always tell us they have no control over these things.
Apologies, I read it the wrong way round. I meant it was 57 in 2014, and now down to 53.
Both figures are still growth (and the problems in the EU - which gets between 30-40% of our exports has deeper problems than it did a year ago).
In this case it is a very slight rise which is worrying.
I am sceptical about statistics at any time but more so with an election coming up.
a) We have had growth now for some time
b) They are not government figures
At least in the media that is.
Why? Who do you think compiles the statistics?
At least we'd have trees to crouch beneath.
Rather than living in concrete jungles buying our air from the 1%.
Just remind me how "Richer regions do not have the right to use migration controls to protect their privileges from others in the long term," works ?, because there are going to be alot of people chasing after not a lot of fungus
Moving the goal posts now?
Not content with having the Greens losing people their jobs (even though those jobs are not economically viable in a Green society), you now want to have everyone from other countries coming here.
Everyone in the whole wide world wants to come to the UK?
It wasn't Policy it was your fantasy world where everyone in the whole wide world thinks the UK is so great, even though the Greens are in charge, that they leave every other part of the world to come here
The Green UK where there are apparently no Manufacturing jobs and people live in the trees and eat soya.
