The performance of the UK services sector over the past three months was the best since mid-2010 according to PMI figures.

Chris Williamson, chief economist at Markit: “So far this quarter, the sector has notched up its best performance since the spring of 2010.”

David Noble: “The construction sector’s relatively buoyant start to 2012 continued in February, as sustained growth affirmed the industry’s ongoing recovery.”

“If rising costs and weak demand persists, sustaining output growth and job creation will become increasingly difficult,” Rob Dobson, senior economist at Markit.

David Noble: “Many businesses have replenished their levels of optimism.”
