What will the new Labour government mean for the logistics, manufacturing and retail sectors?
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has promised “economic stability” and “an enduring partnership with business to deliver the economic growth we need.”
Hi-Level Mezzanines has just enjoyed one of its strongest months so far, including securing a very significant project.
We know our clients in manufacturing, logistics and retail are hoping for an end to uncertainty, increased capital investment, lower interest rates and the prospect of growth ahead.
For expanding businesses, mezzanines are an ideal way to make the most of unused vertical space, maximising productivity and efficiency. They create extra room for manufacturing, storage and offices without the expense and inconvenience of moving to new premises.
Investment and stability
In its manifesto Labour pledged a strategic, mission-driven approach to industrial policy, aiming to boost investment and provide stability for manufacturing companies.
The new government plans to establish a National Wealth Fund, capitalised with £7.3bn, to support growth and clean energy. The fund is intended to directly invest in industrial clusters, aiming to “rejuvenate the manufacturing sector across the country.”
Labour is planning investments in automotive gigafactories and the steel industry to ensure these sectors lead in innovation and sustainability. Another policy is reforming business rates to tackle the retail crisis on high streets.
Sir Keir has also pledged to upgrade ports and build supply chains across the UK, create new roads, railways, reservoirs and ‘other nationally significant infrastructure’ and scrap short funding cycles for key research and development institutions in favour of ten-year budgets that ‘allow meaningful partnerships with industry to keep the UK at the forefront of global innovation’.
Expert partner
After a landmark election, Hi-Level Mezzanines is ready to move ahead as an expert partner for companies seeking to make full use of their existing or newly acquired space.
Mezzanine floors can double, triple, or quadruple usable space, and can be engineered to take any load. They allow a business to find the space it needs when it has outgrown its current premises, is diversifying or installing capacity for robotics.
Hi-Level Mezzanines installs a range of bespoke mezzanines, from Amazon distribution centres to the clinical demands of medical facilities.
As well as providing invaluable extra space immediately, mezzanines also help future-proof ambitious companies so they are ready for growth.
