Thanks to The Register, here is a nice graph of the decline of manufacturing in the UK since 1945. You'll notice one small problem with the "decline" bit.
Its nice to be working for two of the manufacturers in the UK... school books, teaching resources and other school equipment for one and the second makes (and also imports some) Percussion instruments.
The recent "drop" is hardly surprising considering that lending to companies has become more and more strict prior to the recession and during it.
