Manufacturing
Manufacturing in the UK contributes £6.7tn to the global economy and currently supports the UK’s current position as the ninth largest industrial nation. The sector employs 2.7 million people and contributes 10% of GVA. Small Business Group members include many marketers employed in manufacturing and we are pleased that we have a growing team of Manufacturing Ambassadors to represent this this very important sector.
