UK services sector returns to growth
Britain’s services sector has returned to growth, according to the latest poll of purchasing managers across the economy.
UK services firms have reported rising demand in November, with a pick-up in export orders from the US and Europe – despite Brexit trade frictions.

This helped to lift private sector output for the first time in four months.
