They estimated that "craft skills generate £3.4bn in industries across the UK economy". These industries included high-end plastics manufacturing, claymation films, fashion, Harris Tweed textiles and engineering. A good example is the value of craft in luxury automotive manufacture: > "5% of Bentley’s production line staff use craft skills in paintwork, woodwork, leatherwork and needlework, and in more technical skills in engine production."
