UK construction sector growing at fastest pace since September 2007

By: Peter Spence

The UK's construction sector is now growing at its fastest pace since September 2007, according to new purchasing managers' index data.

That's despite forecasts that the rate of expansion would slow down this August, from 57.0 to 56.9. Instead we saw a rise to 59.1.

Not sure what is hotter; the pavement around the Walkie Talkie or UK data
