Growth

Economists believe the UK economy has all the ingredients for quicker growth this year.

The pace of expansion in 2019 might reach 1.5pc, outdoing last year’s performance of 1.4pc growth, according to EY Item Club.

The forecast of 1.5pc was made against an economic assumption of a Brexit deal however in a no-deal Brexit, the Item Club believes GDP growth would be cut in half, expanding by 0.7pc in 2019 and 0.6pc in 2020

This is good news as we start the year and we continue to see strong demand across London with candidate and client confidence in positive territory
