Employment – UK Legal Labour Market Trends, June 2024
On the first of January, the Labour Party announced its new deal for employees, contingent on their expected victory in the next election. Currently projected at an 88% likelihood of winning, businesses will need to review and update employee contracts to comply with the new regulations. Unsurprisingly, law firms are rapidly recruiting to bolster their employment teams faster than other practice areas.
North East – UK Regional Labour Market Trends, June 2024
With the UK still experiencing lower levels of labour market economic activity than before the pandemic, the North East faces the challenge of a growing divergence in growth compared to the southern regions of the country.
Internal Audit – UK Finance Labour Market Trends Report, June 2024
With the impact of climate change now becoming an ever-present reality, it is now being recommended that internal auditors globally make assessing the risk part of their purview, and within the UK specifically. Nonetheless, activity has been muted so far in 2024, with vacancies slowing down by 19.7% compared to last year.

Could Atom Valley put Manchester on the Global Manufacturing Map?
In the decade to 2020, the Greater Manchester economy grew by 39% from £53.89 billion to £78.7 billion and it has been one of the major UK city-regions driving job growth nationwide. With that, Manchester is the largest regional financial, professional, and business services hub outside of London, employing more than 280,000 people. With that in mind, the city has made a strategic gambit to attract international businesses, as part of a north-shoring strategy, where as a result, Spinningfield now has companies located there across Banking, Consulting, Insurance, Law and Technology, employing over 20,000 people overall.
ONS data shows contraction in vacancies
“It’s the economy, stupid.” And in that moment, the paradigm by which political discourse became viewed changed. Now with a new Labour Government in situ, the signs are for the most redistributive budget to be seen in many generations. In fact, given the fact New Labour mostly signed up to the tenets of the prior Conservative regime, you would have to go back to pre-Thatcher to understand how this Government seeks to govern.
July sees record vacancies in Life Sciences
After a protracted slowdown in the post pandemic period, the life sciences sector is finally springing back to life. July was the record month this year so far and the signs are positive looking forward. In terms of what had caused the lull, it is worth factoring that with the UK leaving the EU this had meant that the MHRA had to take over regulatory approvals for new trials, and this process has taken time to bed in.
