Activity has picked up, exporters are more confident about sales growing and more expect to hire staff this year, according to a report from the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) and postal group DHL. The news comes ahead of official data on Thursday expected to show overall economic growth accelerated in the second quarter of the year to 0.6%, from 0.3% in the first three months. Export sales and orders have gone up, confidence is high and expectations around profitability have increased.
