Britain’s manufacturers could boost their investment by up to £10bn if they were to take advantage of the range of public and private financial options available to them, helping to raise the investment potential of the sector overall by up to a fifth and address the UK’s long-term productivity weakness. This is according to Make UK’s latest report – Finance: Opening Doors to Investment in Manufacturing – published in partnership with NatWest and Lombard. It also finds that 26% would increase their own investment by up to a fifth if access to finance was improved, while12% would increase their investment by up to half.
