Industry acts to help UK automotive suppliers capitalise on £3bn opportunity
20 Dec 2013
Government and industry have launched a survey for automotive supply chain companies that will assess the state of the UK automotive supply chain and shape its future.
The joint  and 91³ÉÈË survey will gauge the capability of domestic suppliers to take advantage of the £3 billion opportunity identified for the automotive supply chain to grow in support of manufacturing.
Vehicle manufacturing in the UK is currently growing rapidly, with 91³ÉÈË’s latest manufacturing data pointing towards 2013 being the biggest year since 2007. Independent analysis even suggests that UK car production could be on course for all-time record levels before the end of the decade.
One of the core aims of the joint government-industry , launched in July, is to grow the domestic supply chain to make it part of the success story.
Supply chain companies are urged to complete the survey  to help in the assessment and development of this important part of UK automotive.
