UK Manufacturing Back In

UCL Provides Waste Management Solutions That Are Cost Effective

Recently, currency markets have been volatile to say the least, with the US dollar and Euro at times rallying against the British pound (GBP) and more recently falling. The events of August through to January in 2009 has seen almost daily changes to the strength or weakness of all of the major trading currencies including the Euro, the US dollar and the GBP. While short-term predictions for these three currencies are probably best seen through a crystal ball, the long-term outlook is that the Euro and US dollar will gain and maintain a strong position against the British pound.

What does this mean for imports into the United Kingdom from overseas manufacturers in China and Eastern Europe?

Prior the end of 2007 rally of the Euro and Dollar against the pound, buying imported products from China and Eastern Europe appealed to many UK businesses and local government as the pound had more buying power. In January 2008, the GBP hit records lows against both the Euro and US dollar – for importers of products from overseas this meant that their buying power significantly weakened in the Chinese and Eastern European export markets.

This reduction in purchase power along with an increase in transportation costs means the overall appeal of buying from overseas manufacturers has decreased advantages.

Why should UK businesses, local councils and government favor buying from UK manufacturers?

The weakening GBP when assessed against the risks of buying goods from overseas manufacturers, such as unknown quality of raw materials, long lead times and the requirement to order in bulk means UK businesses, local councils and government have considerably more reasons to buy goods manufactured in the United Kingdom.

When buying from UK manufacturers, businesses, local councils and government reduce the risk of inferior product quality, delayed delivery and unexpected increases in costs. UK manufacturers offer the assurance of:

• Greater understanding of market, environment and quality requirements
• Regulatory compliance
• Lower transportation costs
• No increased costs through currency fluctuation
• Lower volume requirements for manufacture
