The Competitive Advantage Newsletter: Construction Recession Over?

From this month's Competitive Advantage newsletter:

No doubt you read the news that the Office of National Statistics have published quarter 3 construction output statistics showing a 2% increase on the previous quarter indicating that the construction recession ended last June. Receiving less publicity was a release 6 days later stating that new orders in quarter 3 fell by 5%. This, no doubt, reflects what most people reading this will have experienced.

However there is hope for 2010, especially if you make heating boilers. Another area of opportunity is infrastructure with a forecast published by Infrastructure Journal that Public Private Partnership work between 2010 and 2012 could be worth £30 billion.

Even if you are not in infrastructure it is fair to expect 2010 to be better than 2009 and companies do need to prepare for this. That includes training your sales and marketing team, researching markets and being prepared to take on the biggest opportunity - sustainability. These are all areas where the Competitive Advantage team can help you.
