Smart Factory of the Future Expert view series: MAKE UK Q3 2023 Manufacturing Outlook Report

Matt Birtwistle, Manufacturing IMU Director, HSO interviews Senior Economist of Make UK, Fhaheen Khan to discuss the results and findings of this quarter’s Manufacturing Outlook report.

MAKE UK's Q3 2023 Manufacturing Outlook report, in partnership with BDO, finds that the strong performance reported by manufacturers in the first half of the year failed to continue into the third quarter. As it stands, it appears that the buoyant activity of the last 6 months may have been but a temporary blip in the series as rising interest rates begin to take a toll on economic activity.

Watch the interview to discover some interesting insights.
