ECSN chairman Adam Fletcher, writes:
“The UK electronic components market the continues to benefit from the uptick in the manufacturing sector and the May figures reported by our members reflect the generally positive sentiment in the manufacturing sector of the UK economy.”
Fletcher does expect the UK growth figures to inevitably lead to increasing manufacturing lead-times
“Customers now need to sensibly review their order cover to reflect the reality of these extending manufacturing lead-times to avoid any potential delivery problems later in the year.” said Fletcher.
