The King's Speech referred to the “fundamental mission” of the Government being to secure economic growth, which Christopher Greenough, Chief Commercial Officer at Shrewsbury pressings and assemblies specialists SDE Technology, said filled him with 'great optimism and excitement'.
The Government will set up an industrial strategy council and will seek to achieve “rising living standards in all nations and regions in the United Kingdom”. “They will also pursue sustainable growth by encouraging investment in industry, skills and new technologies.” "This focus on establishing an Industrial Strategy Council signals a strong commitment to fostering economic growth and improving living standards across the UK. But this Council must be made up of businesses of all sizes, including the much under heard SMEs."
