Manufacturing reacts to Boris Johnson and Conservative Party election win

Manufacturing reacts to Boris Johnson and Conservative Party election win

The annual National Manufacturing Conference, hosted by Make UK, in February last year.

The UK manufacturing industry has reacted to last night’s general election, which resulted in a 76-seat majority for the Conservative Party led by Boris Johnson.

The party won a total of 364 seats and was run on a clear message of resolving the Brexit deadlock. Now Make UK, the manufacturers’ organisation, has commented on the results

Commenting on the result of the General Election, Stephen Phipson, chief executive of Make UK, the manufacturers’ organisation, said:

“I would like to congratulate Boris Johnson and the Conservatives on winning the election and securing a clear mandate. Uncertainty and delay have caused great damage and manufacturers will hope this result means that the skies can now begin to clear.

“The recent focus on Brexit and the absence of bandwidth in Government has meant that there has been little movement on many vital policy issues and there remains work to do before industry can turn on the taps of investment.

“The first job is the urgent need to begin negotiations on our future trading relationship with Europe, cementing frictionless trade, access to key skills, regulatory alignment and space for business to prepare for new arrangements. Manufacturing exports are one of the powerhouses of our economy and we must allow them to flourish.

“At the same time we call on the Prime Minister to set out a vision for the future of our economy which allies a re-invigorated plan for modern industrial transformation and growth with how we are going to tackle the immense societal challenges such as digitisation and climate change.

“Today is a new start and we hope that the Prime Minister and his Government get down to work with a matter of urgency to promote growth, investment and skilled jobs across the whole of the UK. We stand ready to work together in partnership to archive these aims”.
