Manufacturing sales jobs continue to be boosted

The overall demand for UK manufacturing products weakened slightly in June, according to new figures from the CBI, however one expert predicts that the sector will return to full strength soon, bolstering sales jobs in the sector.

Ian McCafferty, CBI chief economic adviser, said that UK exports have continued to be boosted by the weak pound and expanding world trade, which could drive the sector forward in the coming months.

"Although demand for UK-made goods has weakened a little this month, the manufacturing sector remains on a path of recovery, with conditions much improved on just a few months ago," he said.

The expert added that makers of consumer goods no longer expect domestic prices to rise, while capital goods manufacturers expect no change.

Maufacturing company Kingspan Renewables has recently been able to create more than 160 jobs after the success of its manufacturing sales team helped it to secure £6.5 million of investment from Invest Northern Ireland.
