June experienced the fastest expansion in the UK's construction activity since February, with employment growing at its steepest pace since the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) began for the sector in April 1997.

The Markit/CIPS UK Construction PMI said new work received by UK construction companies increased sharply in June, and at the fastest pace since January.

Stronger demand for new construction projects in turn led to a rapid increase in staffing levels, with the rate of job creation accelerating to its sharpest since the survey began over 17 years ago.
