Some highlights include: 

• More than 8.1 million people – 26% of UK workers – are part of the nation’s engineering economy
• The UK has 729,000 engineering businesses, representing 13% of UK businesses
• The engineering profession generates an estimated £645bn gross value added (GVA) to the UK’s economy annually – equivalent to 32% of the country’s economic output.
