Factories rush to stockpile for Brexit - BBC News
I guess we could say we are still in the EU, that's why everything is booming, despite Brexit stockpiling. Damn you Brexit!
UK factories stockpiled goods for Brexit at an unexpectedly high rate last month, boosting manufacturing growth to a 13-month high, according to a closely watched survey.
The research, by IHS Markit/CIPS, found that the rate of increase in stocks hit a survey record high for the third month in a row.
The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for the manufacturing sector rose to 55.1 in March, from 52.1 in February.
A figure above 50 indicates expansion.
The PMI has remained above that benchmark for 32 months in a row.
