In July, ADS wrote to Chancellor Rishi Sunak to set out priorities for Government support to help our industries recover from the crisis, safeguard capability and jobs, and return to long-term growth.
- Establish a dedicated long-term supply chain investment fund to support the ability of the UK’s small and medium sized businesses to compete in global markets.
- Boost investment in aerospace innovation to deliver on the UK’s ‘jet-zero’ ambitions, by doubling funding for the Aerospace Technology Institute and front-load funding for technology projects.
- Support UK prosperity by maximising the power of procurement and providing attractive conditions for investment
- Provide targeted resources for strengthened industrial engagement for the UK’s security and resilience sector to unlock its full growth potential.
- Ensure direct support is provided to protect jobs and retain skills in sectors where employment in worst hit, and with the flexibility employers need to avoid damaging redundancies.
