Rising workloads in turn contributed to an accumulation of unfinished business for the second month running.
Payroll numbers increased in July, which continued the upward trend recorded over the past three years. Moreover, the rate of job creation picked up to its strongest since July 2015.

Input buying has now risen for three months running and the latest expansion was the steepest since October 2015.
