Scrappage scheme needed for machinery

Make UK has highlighted the case for government to help manufacturing recover from COVID-19 by implementing a new scrappage scheme for old plant and machinery.

It is hoped the proposed scheme will incentivise cash-strapped firms to invest in the latest technologies. The challenge faced by manufacturers as they start to rebuild their businesses and bring staff slowly back into the workplace is vast, says Make UK. To survive, manufacturers will need to take every advantage they can of the latest technologies and equipment to boost productivity and get back on track in the coming months.
