鈥淭he Industrial Strategy launched today marks a significant step forward and a valuable opportunity for the business community to rally behind a new vision for the UK鈥攂oosting confidence, sentiment, and enthusiasm for investment.

鈥淔rom start-ups and small businesses to large corporates, businesses need a more attractive, stable environment that enables faster, easier, and more certain investment decisions.

鈥淲e welcome the government鈥檚 engagement with businesses across the UK. Much of what we鈥檝e shared has been heard and reflected in this strategy. While there鈥檚 more to do, we are ready to support the next steps.

鈥淲e encourage businesses nationwide to get behind this strategy and champion the UK as the best place to live, work, invest, and do business.鈥�
