The manufacturers’ organisation Make UK has published its 2021 Insight, Influence and Impact report into the state of the industry.
Rebuilding workforces, sustaining business growth and creating opportunity in an uncertain business environment, was key throughout the last 12 months“Alongside the more immediate challenges they faced including supply chain disruption and labour shortages, manufacturers have also been grappling with transformative challenges such as the resetting of the UK’s trading relationships, and transitioning to a net-zero future,” says Stephen Phipson, CEO of Make UK, in the forward to the report.
“Yet the sector continues to lead by example and is currently adopting digital technologies at a faster rate than ever before. This year we wanted to build on the positive progress the sector had made during the pandemic - becoming a critical sector for the UK economy. In 2021, by backing UK manufacturing and its people, we have strengthened the UK’s industrial base, demonstrated that the sector can deliver shared and inclusive growth, across our regions and economy, and led the charge in building a digital and green future.
“Collectively we have made progress on these generational issues and our sector has demonstrated to Government that it is part of the solution.
“In 2022, we want to see Government set a bold, new, brave vision by backing manufacturing using the right policy levers in the next decade that supports our sector.
“Government must work in a spirit of partnership with industry to develop a longer-term economic plan. Industry is vital to the future of any new economy.
“It will also be the solution to not just the major societal and environmental challenges we face in the future but the need to boost living standards in a practical way across the whole of the UK.”
