Make UK’s Post

💼 Today, Make UK CEO Stephen Phipson CBE joined fellow leaders of business organisations from the ‘B5’ for the group’s first meeting with Rt Hon Rachel Reeves as Chancellor. Among the topics discussed was #IndustrialStrategy, with Stephen applauding the new Government for its commitments to one, and the accompanying Council, while reminding the Chancellor of the need for further detail and reassurances around the timeframe to implement such a strategy, so that businesses can plan investments accordingly. Make UK is also hoping the proposed Industrial Strategy Council will include representation from #UKmfg. On the Government’s plans to Make Work Pay, Stephen stressed that manufacturing was already above the thresholds of many of the proposals and that employers be consulted on the design and implementation of the key measures, and receive reassurances about the potential costs, alongside a commitment to flexibility for employers as well as employees so firms can continue to respond to fast-paced labour market changes. All eyes will now be on the upcoming Spending Review where Make UK hopes to see action on the skills gap, infrastructure and bringing forward CBAM.

As the month of September is upon us our excellent team of HRL experts have gathered once again to answer your questions. 📋 What can we expect to see in the Employment Rights Bill? The new Government plans to introduce an Employment Rights Bill within its first 100 days, as mentioned in the briefing notes accompanying the King's Speech on 17 July. However, implementation may take longer due to the legislative process. On August 14, Stephen Phipson, CEO of Make UK, along with other business and trade union leaders, attended a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds to discuss the Employment Rights Bill. Further discussions between the government, trade unions, and business representatives are planned.

🚨🆕 We have released our latest report - Manufacturing Outlook 2024 Q3 - in partnership with BDO! Its findings reveal a mixed picture for #UKmfg, while we’ve also taken a special look at supply chain resilience, following years of turmoil. It finds that output has turned negative for the first time in nearly four years, though is forecast to jump to +33% in Q4. Total orders are following a similar pattern, decreasing from +14% in Q2 to +7% and then also jumping by a third in the next three months. #UKmfg has yet to see a post-election boost, with sector growth forecasts revised down to 0.5% this year, from 1.2% originally, while the prediction for the economy overall in 2025 has been upgraded from 0.8% to 1.8%. Despite this mixed picture, business confidence has continued to rise.
