- Lloyds TSB Press Release 2 February 2007 .
Lloyd TSB's biannual "Business in Britain survey" reveals that 35% of construction firms plan to raise prices over the next six months, while only 8% plan to lower them. This is due to rising orders, with 49% of firms reporting stronger orders in the second half of 2006. However, fewer companies expect to see higher profits, a likely result of the higher wages firms have had to pay due to the lack of skilled workers.
