While the UK economy is on the road to recovery, mid-market businesses are finding it to be something of a long haul. Indeed, the macroeconomic environment is still a cause for concern for many firms, with a lack of market visibility impairing their ability to forecast future performance. Tellingly, 56% of survey respondents consider their business sector to still be in recession. Significant variances emerged across different industry sectors with a large proportion of respondents from the Construction (87%) and Industrials & Chemicals (58%) sectors believing that they are still in the midst of a recession, 18 months on from the acute onset of the financial crisis.
