Read latest Scotsman Insider emag for a deep dive into the performance of Scotland's engineering sector
This week's Scotsman Insider sees us take a deep dive into Scottish Engineering's quarterly survey.
It is one of the most valuable indicators of the health of the Scottish economy, thanks to Paul Sheerin and Rebecca Rigg for giving us access to all of the data on a quarterly basis.
The Q3 survey found firms added staff at the fastest rate in three years during the third quarter.
Scottish Engineering's latest quarterly review shows staffing at a net +14 per cent, up from +9 per cent in Q2 and the strongest employment reading since 2023.
It was one of only four indices to improve on the quarter, and the only one not measuring an input decision.
Everything pointing at customer demand fell.
We also speak to Peter McAlister of Guala Closures about how the closures firm is adapting to a whisky market which is moving away from premiumisation towards volume and Fraser Maclean of MH Carriers about turning around the haulage firm's fortunes.
