In January, number of people in work rose by 143,000 to a record 30.94m Britain’s employment rate at a high of 73.3pc

In the words of Chancellor George Osborne……….

“Today, I report on a Britain that is growing, creating jobs and paying its way. We took difficult decisions in the teeth of opposition and it worked — Britain is walking tall again”

“And where is employment growing fastest? The Northwest, Where is a job being created every 10 minutes? The Midlands, and which county has created more jobs than the whole of France? The great county of Yorkshire”

In Q2 &Q3 of 2015, many have predicted that the economy will start to accelerate due to an expansion in manufacturing, energy and construction.

Co-Head of a leading banking group, says that businesses of all sizes are growing in confidence. “The average person has more money in his pocket and that is benefitting businesses of all sizes. Construction is booming, manufacturing is growing very swiftly and the leisure industry is now picking up.”

With employment on the up, inflation at a record low and no signs of interest rates going up soon, organisations are more confident and have a positive outlook for growth.
