METALL Funding Webinar: The changing landscape of the Manufacturing sector

In it’s report on the impact of COVID-19 and Brexit on the UK economy published last year, the Trade Union Congress (TUC) cited that the Manufacturing sector was considered the most exposed to Brexit. This is due to the increase in tariffs and Non Tariff Barriers and the impact it will have on supply chains which are often deeply integrated with the EU.

Following the ongoing COVID pandemic issues and the end of the Brexit transition period, manufacturing businesses have faced additional cash flow pressures. Whether you’re looking to expand, purchase more equipment or pivot in the market place, funding opportunities have changed.
