EEF comment on Government Industrial Strategy launch

Commenting on the publication of the Government Industrial Strategy, Terry Scuoler, Chief Executive of EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation, said:

“The introduction of a new industrial strategy is key to supporting efforts to improve productivity and invest in not just current industries, but those of the future which are set to radically change the ways in which people live and work.

“The white paper acts as a good foundation for a new partnership with industry where Government and business can ensure consistency in policy thinking and implementation to ensure the UK is world leader in these new technologies. 

“And by introducing independent scrutiny of the progress of these plans, the government is signalling that there will be a strong focus on measuring delivery which boardrooms will recognise and welcome.
