UK manufacturing stalls in November

UK manufacturing fell 13.9% in November, with year-to-date performance 7.9% behind 2018 figures.

This is according to figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.

Mike Hawes, SMMT chief executive, said: “As with UK cars and vans, UK engine production is export-led, so it is vital that certainty is provided on the nature of our future overseas trading relationships. We look forward to working with the new government to secure an ambitious future trade deal with the EU that ensures the future competitiveness of UK automotive.”
