Annual producer output inflation down from 2.0% in June, to 1.7% in July
Annual producer input inflation up from -3.0% in June, to -2.4% in July
Commenting on the producer price figures for July 2012, published today by the ONS, David Kern, Chief Economist at the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said:
“The producer price figures are positive overall. Output inflation has decelerated steadily since last September, and the annual rate is at its lowest since 2009. Input inflation has risen in July, but the annual rate is still in negative territory. The figures do highlight some worrying upward pressures on prices, in particular the impact of the US drought on food prices.
“We expect consumer price inflation to continue falling over the next year, which will be good news for the economy. In the face of tough fiscal austerity at home and difficult problems in the eurozone, falling inflation will be key in easing pressures on disposable incomes and underpinning demand in the economy.
“The Monetary Policy Committee should not use additional QE to limit the fall in inflation. In recent years UK inflation has consistently been above the 2% target. A temporary period of inflation lower than this level in 2013 would benefit the economy and should not be resisted. Meanwhile the economic situation remains difficult and businesses as well as consumers are facing major challenges. While the government perseveres with its deficit reduction plan it should act more forecefully to create the right conditions for businesses to grow, through deregulation, and supporting business lending and exports.

The government has announced the results of its energy red tape challenge initiative. The package will see the scrapping of 86 regulations and improvements to 48 regulatory regimes. According to government estimates the package, alongside other measures, will save businesses around £400 million over the next 20 years. Most of the measures contained in the package relate to minor or out of date regulations. An announcement on the future of the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, a current regulation that seriously burdens businesses, is due in the autumn.
As part of a drive to cut red tape burdens, Minister of State for Energy, Charles Hendry, has announced the scrapping of 86 regulations and a further 48 improved regulatory regimes, whilst keeping protections as strong as ever. Coupled with other reforms, DECC’s overall reform package is estimated to deliver businesses savings worth around £400 million over the next 20 years.
Minister of State for Energy, Charles Hendry, said:
“Energy is vital to the economy and essential to driving growth. It is also the biggest infrastructure sector in the UK. Our reforms aim to stimulate over £100bn of new investment in the electricity sector and could support around 250,000 total jobs in electricity to 2030.
“It is therefore vital that we have a regulatory regime which promotes fairness and consumer and environmental protection, but does not impose unnecessary costs or barriers to generating the necessary investment, innovation and skills we need to build the low carbon economy.
“The Red Tape Challenge has provided the opportunity to ensure we continue to meet these objectives. We have listened to our stakeholders as they suggested regulations which add cost or complexity without effectively leading to protections, and I am pleased to announce that DECC will scrap or improve 134 regulations.”
Supporting today’s announcement, Terry A’Hearn, Regulation Lead of the Aldersgate Group said:
“We welcome the Government’s work in cutting back excessive and outdated regulation, whilst ensuring that protection of our environment remains as strong as ever.
“Smart regulation corrects market failures, drives innovation and provides the foundation for long-term economic growth, jobs and competitiveness and we congratulate DECC’s recognition of the importance of prioritising these long-term outcomes.”
After an extremely successful year with more garden centres stocking PlantGrow products than ever, we’re thrilled to announce that our first national TV campaign goes live!
In partnership with Happy Hour, an award-winning creative agency based in the heart of Bristol, we’ve come up with a creative and thoughtful TV campaign that highlights the importance of organic gardening.
“We’re very excited to bring PlantGrow to TV. It’s a quality, eco-friendly product and we’re proud to work with them on their first response TV campaign.” Says Tom George, Creative Director at Happy Hour. “PlantGrow came to us with a specific brief, to reach organic gardeners and land the important organic and ecological benefits of their product vs chemical and peat-based fertilisers.
“Working with Chase Media, the combined direct response media and creative strategy targets the eco-conscious gardener and provides cut-through in ad breaks, using silence to emphasise the natural characteristics of PlantGrow. Creatively, we felt the quality of the product speaks for itself, so we decided to use that to our advantage to communicate how quietly and naturally PlantGrow works in harmony with your garden.
Since we’re known for winning the Breaking Boundaries awards we wanted to create something unique that showed our innovation and dedication to an organic, plant-based future.
Laura Ruddock, Producer at Happy Hour, says “We had an opportunity to do something different for PlantGrow and we were happy to rise to that challenge. The heroes of the creative are really the sights and sounds of the garden, which speak to the enjoyment we get from our connection to the natural world and underscore the benefits of using PlantGrow to garden sustainably.”
We’re delighted that more and more people are going to see PlantGrow and how it can benefit their gardens, whether they have a small vegetable patch or a whole plot of land.
