The pleasing data has been fuelled by a hike in the services sector which has been driven by increased North Sea oil & gas production following tax cuts in March.

Swiss giant Zurich Insurance Group is considering a potential £5bn plus cash offer for RSA Insurance, Melrose has sold its portfolio company Elster for £3.3bn, Hikma Pharmaceuticals is buying US rival Roxane Laboratories and GKN is to acquire Dutch engineering business Fokker for £500m.
