UK manufacturing strategy

The UK government released its green paper for industrial strategy based on 10 key points. We see this as a welcome development providing it can be filtered down to SMEs who can really benefit. Larkshill’s investment programme has already been underpinned via grant funding from a range of sources to build its capability, enhance skills and acquire new plant and machinery. But the emphasis must be maintained to support UK manufacturing to ensure it remains at the forefront of world class manufacturing competence.
