UNITED KINGDOM - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The UK, a leading trading power and financial center, is the second largest economy in Europe after Germany. Over the past two decades, the government has greatly reduced public ownership and contained the growth of social welfare programs. Agriculture is intensive, highly mechanized, and efficient by European standards, producing about 60% of food needs with less than 2% of the labor force. The UK has large coal, natural gas, and oil resources, but its oil and natural gas reserves are declining and the UK became a net importer of energy in 2005. Services, particularly banking, insurance, and business services, account by far for the largest proportion of GDP while industry continues to decline in importance. After emerging from recession in 1992, Britain's economy enjoyed the longest period of expansion on record during which time growth outpaced most of Western Europe. In 2008, however, the global financial crisis hit the economy particularly hard, due to the importance of its financial sector. Sharply declining home prices, high consumer debt, and the global economic slowdown compounded Britain's economic problems, pushing the economy into recession in the latter half of 2008 and prompting the then BROWN (Labour) government to implement a number of measures to stimulate the economy and stabilize the financial markets; these include nationalizing parts of the banking system, temporarily cutting taxes, suspending public sector borrowing rules, and moving forward public spending on capital projects. Facing burgeoning public deficits and debt levels, in 2010 the CAMERON-led coalition government (between Conservatives and Liberal Democrats) initiated a five-year austerity program, which aimed to lower London's budget deficit from over 10% of GDP in 2010 to nearly 1% by 2015. In November 2011, Chancellor of the Exchequer George OSBORNE announced additional austerity measures through 2017 because of slower-than-expected economic growth and the impact of the euro-zone debt crisis. The CAMERON government raised the value added tax from 17.5% to 20% in 2011. It has pledged to reduce the corporation tax rate to 21% by 2014. The Bank of England (BoE) implemented an asset purchase program of up to £375 billion (approximately $605 billion) as of December 2012. During times of economic crisis, the BoE coordinates interest rate moves with the European Central Bank, but Britain remains outside the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). In 2012, weak consumer spending and subdued business investment weighed on the economy. GDP fell 0.1%, and the budget deficit remained stubbornly high at 7.7% of GDP. Public debt continued to increase.

Business Description

 

Price & Company Ltd, was established in Robert Street, Brighton in 1850 by a Miss Price. The business specialised in the manufacture of mattresses, which at that time were solely dependent on straw as a filling. In 1945 Norman Stace purchased the company from the founder's nephew and expanded the bedding side by manufacturing and introducing sprung mattresses and divans. Working alongside Norman from 1947, as an apprentice upholsterer aged 14 was Bill Green, who became a Director and an invaluable member of the Company, until his retirement 50 years later, in 1997. The nature of the work demanded upholsterers and seamstresses who in turn became an ideally suited workforce for the next stage of development; curtain making. It was only a matter of time before the company decided to expand further, this time into the distribution of curtain tapes and other complementary lines. Jerry Stace joined the company as a Director in 1963, working with his father Norman. One year later another member of the family joined the team, Jerry's brother, Tim Stace, whose first involvement was to direct the company into the wholesaling of curtain tracks and associated sundries. Soon after this expansion demanded larger premises and the company moved to the Old Town Brewery in Portland Mews. Jerry & Tim proved a successful partnership, building a profitable distribution business which proved capable of sustaining modest growth even during the recession. In 1980 with ever increasing furnishing ranges they introduced Trimmings. The company now boasts some of the finest Trimmings in the country. In December, 1986, after a 3 month's training period with Kirsch USA. Simon Stace (Jerry's son) joined the business to oversee the running of the warehouse and was involved with yet another expansion in May 1987, when the company moved to more modern premises known as Regency Buildings. Another member of the family joined the company, in May 1988, Simons sister Joanna Stace, who works closely with the sales force nation-wide. With plans to expand the product range it was necessary to move yet again in March 1995. Since then they have continued to introduce more contemporary and upmarket products and designs at affordable prices. And in January 2004 Simon and Joanna Stace took over the company from Tim and Jerry and it continues to grow. As Price and Company progresses into the future development of existing brands continue to be a main part of Company life but also the inclusion of designer brand JLS Designs and collaborations with JAB ANSTOETZ ensures that the company will expand and develop way into the future. For a company who have been in business since 1850, it is refreshing to find the family atmosphere still present. with a distinct team effort amongst the 50+ employees, who have an eager willingness to get on with the job of supplying customers. Such attitudes have undoubtedly been instrumental in helping this friendly wholesaling company to expand and continue well in to the future. More than 50% of our employees have been with us for 10yrs or more.
