After more than a year in the doldrums it seems manufacturing is back to full health.And nowhere more is this evident than at Caterpillar's huge factory in Desford.

The upbeat announcement from Caterpillar came a day before figures from the closely-watched Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply's activity index said UK manufacturing output rose at its fastest pace in 15 years last month.
My visit to the Caterpillar plant last week to interview general manager Robert Droogleever was a great experience.
A walk around the shopfloor was a huge highlight. I followed a digger right the way through the production process. I can imagine chocolate addicts having the same palpitations during a visit to the shopfloor of a Cadbury's factory.
The only thing is that this factory has been owned by Americans for more than 50 years and they have all but guaranteed its long-term future.
