The Chamber has welcomed the Government’s newly published Infrastructure Strategy, while urging ministers to stay true to their commitment to fostering growth and opportunity for the UK’s small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Several chamber members played a direct role in shaping the Government’s strategy, offering real-world insight from the coalface of British business.
Their input – spanning sectors from advanced manufacturing and green energy to logistics and digital services – helped ensure the voice of regional enterprise is firmly embedded in the national economic roadmap.
The Chamber strongly supports the strategy’s emphasis on skills, infrastructure, and sustainability – all core pillars identified by members during roundtable consultations earlier this year.
However, the Chamber is clear: real impact will only come through tangible investment, policy consistency, and a relentless focus on reducing barriers to growth for SMEs.
