British industrial output rose continually during April, marking the biggest annual increase since 2011, data from the Office of National Statistic (ONS) showed on Tuesday.
Manufacturing output also increased by 0.4 percent month-on-month in April, the fifth consecutive increase since November 2013.
Annual growth in manufacturing output of 4.4 percent was the strongest since February 2011, said the institute.
The British economy is performing strongly this year. The second GDP estimate confirmed that the British economy grew by 0.8 percent in the first quater of 2014.
Data released today showed that economic expansion was continuing to broaden out, but industrial and manufacturing output remains 11.3 percent and 7 percent respectively, below the pre-downturn GDP peak reached in the first quarter of 2008.
The Britain Treasury said today's data "provides further evidence that the government's long term economic plan is working, laying the foundations of a broad based recovery."
"The job is not done, but the greatest risk to the recovery would be abandoning the plan that's delivering a brighter economic future for Britain," it added./.
