Discrete elements of the analysis, purely relating to supply, were completed beyond this point due to the limitations of lockdown. Executive Summary 1. This Economic Needs Assessment has been produced by Turley – alongside a separate but linked Housing Needs Assessment (HNA) – on behalf of Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council and Stoke-on-Trent City Council (‘the Councils’). It is intended to update their employment land evidence, last reviewed in 20151, and comply with national planning policy that has since been revised2. It provides evidence to inform the preparation of a Joint Local Plan, while establishing links with ambitious economic strategies that already exist to address local and wider priorities in this area. 2. It should be noted at the outset that while this report takes a long-term view guided by trends historically observed over a reasonable period of time, it has unfortunately been produced at a time of exceptional economic volatility.

Neil Ewins. Copy of paper to be delivered at Parsons, The New School of Design, New York on 23rd April 2013, for their 22nd Annual Parsons/Cooper-Hewitt symposium on the Decorative Arts and Design. The Presentation of this paper will be accompanied by Powerpoint imagery. Conference theme ‘Mobility and Design’. Sub-categories of Conference: Globalization and the mobility of cultural products. Paper title: UK ceramic manufacturing strategies, marketing and design, in response to globalization c1990-2010. Since the 1990s, ceramic exports from the Far East have surged, and UK ceramic brands have increasingly utilized cheap labour abroad, known as outsourcing. Much of the more recent behaviour of the UK ceramic industry is a reflection of globalization. Western industries have been described increasingly as ‘post Fordist’ (Amin (ed), 1994), and to many writers the impact of globalization creates deterritorialization (King (ed), 1991, p.6; Tomlinson, 1999, p.106-49). Taking their cue from Baudrillard, Lash and Urry’s analysis of ‘global sociology’ argued that ‘Objects are emptied out both of meaning (and are postmodern) and material content (and are thus post-industrial)’.

Since its inception the Charity has persistently and influentially worked to lift standards, develop training qualifications and build networks across the UK’s conservation, repair and maintenance (CRM) sector, estimated at over 40% of all construction industry activities. This has involved working partnerships with national agencies, professional and standard setting bodies, educational establishments and training interests. This study is directed towards a general audience and those wishing to increase their knowledge of The Potteries area, and its specific form and type of buildings in addition to assisting in providing a framework for carrying out similar regional studies.

I was delighted to be joined by senior DIT colleagues working on both trade policy and trade promotion, allowing us to discuss not only the opportunities we can Foreword unlock through a Free Trade Agreement (FTA), but also to discuss the practical support that exists right now to help The Rt Hon. Greg Hands SMEs trade with the U.S. I whole-heartedly endorse the report’s The Rt Hon. Greg Hands recommendations about the value of combining trade policy Minister of State for Minister of State for with trade promotion support. Trade Policy Trade Policy 2020 was a difficult year for SMEs in particular, who faced the impact of the COVID-19 crisis with far fewer resources than their larger counterparts. That’s why it’s so important to get 2021 right, and to provide the opportunities for small businesses to deploy their agility and expertise in driving economic recovery. Trade policy will be key to building back better, and the businesses I spoke with are an example of the tens of thousands of companies across the country that will be key to delivering the benefits of trade policy.
