Britain’s manufacturers believe the introduction of an Industrial Strategy and individual sector plans will have the biggest impact on their growth prospects in 2026, with a majority of companies believing the opportunities for their business to succeed outweigh the risks this year. These are some of the findings from the annual Make UK 2026 Senior Executive survey, in association with PwC UK. Highlighting the opportunities, risks and challenges for manufacturers in the year ahead, Make UK CEO Stephen Phipson said: " Manufacturers have demonstrated their resilience over and over again in recent years and those that remain innovative and are prepared to invest will continue to thrive. But they can only do this if they are operating in the most favourable business environment; the Government promised significant change, now is the time to deliver it.”
