We finally have the publication of the long awaited Industrial Strategy – the full strategy can be found at here

Scott Knowles, Cheif Executive at East Midlands Chamber said

“Measures announced in the Industrial Strategy are a welcome blueprint for businesses to build on and, depending on how implemented, could go some way to ease the challenges East Midlands firms have been facing, such as providing the right support at the right time so SMEs can grow, reducing the reams of paperwork that have made trade complicated since exiting the EU, addressing the skills gap – these all seem progressive steps on paper.

The cliche of course is that the devil is always in the detail and we look forward to hearing more about implementation as soon as possible”.
