Recognising the need for a long-term industrial strategy

Highlighting the results of the recent Make UK/BDO Regional Manufacturing Outlook, Richard Austin, head of manufacturing at BDO, pointed out that, over the last few years, manufacturers across the regions and nations of the UK have faced multiple external shocks and changing policy priorities. With prime minister Keir Starmer starting to drop hints about the autumn Budget, Austin added: "There is now an exciting opportunity for the sector to work with the new government on the development of a new long-term industrial strategy."

With best regards.
