The new car market appears to be particularly strong in the UK at the moment, with the latest figures pointing to a rise in the number of models bought by Britons.

Statistics for November from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders showed there was an increase in the number of new cars bought in all the respective countries within the UK.

In England, 136,440 new models were acquired by consumers last month, which was some way ahead of the 127,957 records in the same month in 2012. Indeed, this 6.63 per cent surge was made to look small in comparison to the 17.54 per cent rise witnessed in Northern Ireland, where 3,110 vehicles were purchased in November.

Elsewhere, Scotland recorded a 6.09 per cent spike in new car transactions to 13,994, while 5,698 cars were sold in Wales over the 30 days in question, a rise of 12.83 per cent.

And it is not only the comparison of November 2013 versus the same month in 2012 that showed an upward trend, as the year-to-date figures were similarly encouraging.

In Wales, 17.07 per cent more models have been sold in 2013 so far than they were in 2012 at this point, while England (9.48 per cent), Northern Ireland (9.8 per cent) and Scotland (12.57 per cent) all enjoyed rises in activity too.

With demand for new cars on the up, more people could be hired in automotive jobs at some of the UK's major vehicle production plants. Several of the world's largest motor companies have factories in Britain and these could ramp up their activities if the market continues to improve. This is extremely positive for those looking for recruitment in North London & other areas in the UK.

Overall, new car purchases rose by 6.99 per cent in November in comparison to the same month in 2012, indicating there is substantial growth occurring in the sector.

The figures were even more positive in the year-to-date category, with the UK as a whole recording an increase of 10.03 per cent in new car deals.
