The headline is the lowest since July 2013 and it looks like the industry is still being hampered by weak global growth. That picture is the same across the world so you can't really use the argument of a strong currency.

Domestically it's still looking fairly upbeat, looking at the numbers for the past 3 months

No big reaction in the quid at 1.5515
