Vote manufacturing
Focusing on financial services, rather than manufacturing industry, has had a serious impact on the UK's economy. Now, there's a lot discussion about how to address the UK's national debt - heading towards £200bn - with much of the discussion centred around deep spending cuts.
But here's another idea: if our manufacturers exported 10% more and we imported 10% fewer finished goods, the UK's balance of payments would improve by £45billion per year.
That's more than the entire financial sector now contributes and could pay off £200bn of debt in 10 years. No other business sector offers such great potential for restoring UK prosperity.
With a general election looming, it's a great opportunity to get manufacturing on to the political agenda. That's why Findlay Media has launched the Vote Manufacturing campaign.
