Swales hails manufacturing comeback in the North East
Manufacturing has seen a surge in growth again this quarter, with businesses taking on extra staff to cope with the increase. Lloyds TSB North East Business Index, which measures the performance of manufacturing, recorded a rise in employment in industries within the region for the 22nd consecutive month in the region.
Ian Swales commented '' This is excellent news for the area, and I am really pleased to see that there have been an increase of productivity within the manufacturing sector as well as an increase in employment.''
''This shows that the Coalition Government are listening to the North East. There has been significant investment into the area through the Regional Growth Fund, and has allowed the region to show what it is capable of when given the chance. Whilst this is encouraging news and I hope that we see this growth continue and industry to flourish, there is still a long way to go to bring employment to Teesside. I will not rest until more jobs have been brought to this area.''
