“It is important to recognise that taking a proactive approach towards GDPR compliance will potentially reap financial benefits. “The opportunities for manufacturers to take advantage of the Big Data Revolution and embrace Industry 4.0 to become more profitable are real and this is forcing manufacturers to improve the connectivity of their businesses. Good data governance is a crucial part of this, indeed it will be essential to achieve the future state of a digitally integrated supply chain.”
“There are some pleasing results from this latest survey and it is encouraging that many firms in the manufacturing sector have continued to grow despite market uncertainty caused by the referendum result last year. “Whilst growth may be set to improve, economic pressures on the sector in relation to inflation, employment costs and difficulties in recruitment, along with the import costs of raw materials, means that the longer term position of the sector is far from certain.”
“Irwin Mitchell’s commercial litigation team in Sheffield performed well in 2015 and I am confident that we are in a strong position to take advantage of the opportunities that are ahead of us in 2016. “Yvonne’s appointment follows the recruitment of Solicitor Ciaran Dearden in February 2015 and adds further expertise and experience to the team which will no doubt ensure we can continue to provide a first-class service to our clients.”
“Our survey highlights a number of issues facing UK based manufacturers. Although there appears to be support generally for the drive towards a greater devolution of power away from Westminster, less than half of bosses felt that they were receiving the right level of support from Government. “It is interesting that the Government has recently announced further devolution of business rates and it is crucial that the newly formed body looking at infrastructure, which will be led by Lord Adonis, delivers and listens to what businesses want.” “We support the intention of a more balanced UK economy and believe that it is vital that the concerns of the manufacturing sector are listened to in order to ensure that it becomes a reality.”
