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.

Clark-Drain was formerly known as Clarksteel Ltd, we were founded in 1963 by Francis Clark and his wife Dorothy who were looking to buy a manhole cover. At that time they were quoted a 12 to 18 month delivery time! So instead of waiting, they set about making a cover by themselves. In fact, that first cover set new industry standards as it was made from steel rather than the usual cast iron. Francis sadly passed away in 1998, but family members continue to play key roles in the business and Dorothy still remains actively involved. At Clark-Drain we continue to invest in our technology and people here in the UK and worldwide as both our national and international business continues to expand. Even though we have become much larger we still retain our traditional values - meeting our customer needs by being highly innovative, not compromising on quality and being focused on giving customers the best possible service All work is carried out under a BS EN ISO9001:2008 Quality Management System (Certificate No. FM 86830) and the whole team is committed to the principles of Total Quality Management. Company Highlights 1963 - Clark and Son formed 1965 - Company reformed as Clarksteel Ltd 1965 - Set new industry standards with the development of first steel cover as an alternative to cast iron 1978 - Started exporting first steel covers to Singapore and Indonesia 1981- One of the first drainage suppliers to replace Durbar plate with a 'self-manufactured' embossed pressed steel cover 1986 - Introduced plastic product range with easy form corners for increased strength in covers 1995 - First to make tooling and patterns in-house for pressing own recessed pavior 1998 - Clarksteel Ltd rebrands as Clark-Drain Ltd to reflect its growing portfolio of traditional and specialist drainage products 1999 - State-of-the-art robotic manufacturing process first introduced onto the shop floor for welding steel lids and covers, increasing productivity and precision workmanship 2003 - Use of robotic technologies extended to incorporate 'own-design' plastic frames with steel covers 2012 - Began same day despatch service offering delivery times of 2 to 3 working days 2012 - Developed polypropylene linear channel product for rail platform installations which takes 25% less time to install than traditional products
