The recent survey that was carried out by Design Business Ireland clearly illustrates the current position of our sector. With the exception of the 'cautiously optimistic' the survey cannot be deemed to be overly positive. It is also important to note that the survey was open to design firms and individuals which are not members of our body. This therefore provides a more accurate depiction of sentiment within the sector.
It is essential that these surveys are carried out on a regular basis as we are all in need of information and statistics about our industry. Design Business ireland is perfectly placed to be the collector and disseminators of these details.
