Editor's Comment 

As the UK approaches the November 2025 Budget, industry will be looking for direction rather than rhetoric – this is more than an accounting

In the wake of the Government’s latest Spending Review, manufacturers find themselves in familiar territory: cautiously optimistic, yet acutely aware that rhetoric and headlines are no substitute for follow-through.

The recent announcement that the Government will delay the release of its comprehensive industrial strategy until June has caused mixed reactions from industry stakeholders and policymakers. This postponement, aligning the strategy’s publication with the upcoming spending review, aims to provide a cohesive framework for the UK’s economic future. In the interim, Labour plans to roll out specific sectoral strategies, notably in life sciences and advanced manufacturing, to maintain business confidence and address immediate industry concerns.
