Growing the UK automotive supply chain (April 2015)
The Automotive Council report reveals a big jump in demand from British vehicle manufacturers fro British-made components. Domestic component suppliers saw a 10% rise in sales to British vehicle manufacturers in 2014. Currently around one third of the components in a UK-built car domestically sources, compared to more than 90% in the mid-1970s. The new report finds that as UK vehicle output increases, the supply chain re-shoring opportunity will grow to at least £4 billion worth of business a year. Download the report here.
