Work stream : Component Survey Data & Intelligence UK Economic Overview

• Macro economic factors have shifted in the UK’s favour • Historic trends in UK vehicle manufacture have reversed – Many new vehicle projects have been announced • Much of the excess UK supply chain capacity has been used already, expansion is necessary for a competitive UK sector • Supply Chain investment is now required to support OEM growth. This will: – Protect immediate expansion plans of the UK OEM’s – Create long term critical mass in the UK Supply Chain – Create much needed UK employment opportunities – Support the UK’s Growth strategy

Inward investment will require incentives; expansion of indigenous suppliers will require access to capital
