AN ORANGE, POLL of industry leaders at the National Business Awards showed that more than two thirds of UK industry felt the entrepreneurial spirit of British companies was surviving the recession.
In addition, over half of the thousand companies polled believed that investment in skills and training was a crucial factor in longterm success.
