Manufacturers in the North East have seen output recover to pre-Covid times, according to the latest Make UK/BDO Annual Regional Manufacturing Outlook report, with the sector a major contributor to the local economy.
Output was almost a fifth higher than that recorded in 2018, the report found.
The sector accounted for almost a sixth of the region's total output, well above the national average. It also contributes 121,000 jobs - an addition of 7,000 jobs since 2023. This is almost 10 per cent of the region's employment overall.
