The East of England has been Hailed as being the Trade Capital of the UK

Trade businesses have boomed in the East of England. Scotland would appear to have the lowest volume of all trade businesses. A new analysis has been done and it shows that the East of England is actually the trade capital of the UK. One out of every 11 businesses are focused on various trades such as plumbing, plastering and even construction work too. When you look at the trade businesses that are in the east you will see that constructors make up 26%. This is then followed by plumbers who make up 20% and then building developers who make up 13%. Northern Ireland has the second highest percentage when you look at the trade industry. Matt Boatwright is the head of the Direct Line business and he has started that it is actually the beating heart of the country. This is especially the case when you look at the emergence of new property hotspots that are actually located on the outskirts of London.

It's really great to see how businesses are emerging and it is also great to see businesses thriving. The research has shown time and time again that there are certain pockets in the UK where a ton of local residents actually benefit from trade-focused suppliers. This includes plumbing, plastering and more. They contribute to key sectors such as construction, and if you work in trade recruitment then you will know what a fantastic benefit this is. Of course, if you are seeking trade jobs then you will also know that there are plenty of chances for you to specialise and this is a fantastic way for you to branch out into other positions. Only time will tell how things develop but right now it would appear that things are looking pretty good for the UK.
