At the Houses of
Parliament last month, I met with two people from the Associate Parliamentary
Manufacturing Group to discuss raising the profile of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing in the UK Manufacturing
Sector. If you are part of that Sector, read the following statements with
pride.
In the UK, the
Pharma Industry:
o Employs 72,000 people directly, plus 250,000 in related industries
o Generates £14.6B in exports
o Contributes £8.4B into the national GDP (out of a total
Manufacturing of £140B)
o Creates a Trade surplus of £4.3B
o Over 12% of National Total Manufacturing Gross Value added is due to "Pharma, Chemicals and Bioscience" Sector, second only to "Food, Beverages and Tobacco."
o That Sector has the 2nd largest sector growth in
Manufacturing in the last 15 years , 2nd only to the "Aircraft, rail, marine,and motorcycles" Sector.
