What do they even manufacture?
Apparently their main production branches are chemistry products, pharmaceuticals, machinery, some electronics and metals.
I tried to look into it too. The org mentioned (Make UK) has reports for “quarterly outlooks” as they call it but it for reason only mentions percent change per sector rather than total output. I only skimmed it poorly so I could have missed some things. Also I am too dumb to read these things.
There is a Wikipedia article on “Manufacturing in UK” which says that a significant portion of their output is stuff like cars and airplane parts. Something interesting it mentions is that a lot (maybe all) car companies that started in England have now been bought by foreign entities. For example, Tata (from India) have bought Jaguar which I find mind boggling. There is only one motorcycle company that is proper Bri’ish right now.
